   Belarus Deputy Prosecutor General Andrei Shved has announced that
   security officials have taken five suspects into custody in connection
   with Monday's deadly bombing at a Minsk metro station.
   In a briefing Thursday, Shved said police had initially detained three
   people, including the man suspected of planting and detonating the
   bomb. Two more suspects have now been taken into custody. The blast
   killed 12 people and injured around 200 more.
   Shved said all five of the men are Belarusians and are all under the
   age of 30.
