Russia: 14 Killed in Bombing in St. Petersburg Metro Station
------------------------------------------------------------

In Russia, authorities say at least 14 people were killed, and dozens
more wounded, in a bombing on a metro station in St. Petersburg Monday.
Kyrgyz authorities identified the attacker as 22-year-old Akbarzhon
Dzhalilov, who was born in Kyrgyzstan and had Russian citizenship.
Authorities say a second bomb, which was disguised as a fire
extinguisher, was placed at another station but was disarmed before it
exploded. St. Petersburg residents gathered Monday to mourn the victims
of the blast and call for peace.

Arsen Bogdanov: "I really hope that such events will help all of us, not
only people in Russia, but around the whole world, to understand that we
should remain human, to encourage humanity inside ourselves, not being
animalistic and not to treat each other like wild animals."
