BBC
pushes story that Vladimir Putin was behind St. Petersburg metro
attack [Video]

BBC
correspondent claimed St.Petersburg subway train attack could be
'false flag'.
It
didn’t take long for a western propaganda network to insinuate that
Russian President Putin was behind the metro attack in St.
Petersburg.
Disgusting
fake news, courtesy of the BBC (Video and Tweet below)…
This
contrasts stridently with the cynical and downright insulting
attitude displayed by state-owned British broadcaster BBC, when they
implied that the attack was somehow a useful diversion from Russian
domestic issues, which of course the BBC exaggerated the scope of.
Had
RT said something similar about an attack in Britain or the US, one
could easily predict the outcry from western mainstream media.
The
fact remains that the political implications of this tragedy indicate
a vindication of Donald Trump’s statements that it would be a
positive thing for the US to cooperate with Russia in a fight against
a common enemy.

A
suspected bomb blast inside a train in the St. Petersburg Metro
killed eleven passengers and injured dozens of others. The entire
Metro system was shut down as bomb squads and rescuers responded to
the emergency.
Russia’s
Investigative Committee has launched a search for two people
suspected of being implicated in the bombing. The information on the
search for organizers and perpetrators of the explosion has been
confirmed by the National Antiterrorism Committee (NAC) as well.
The
explosion happened as the train was travelling between the stations
Tekhnologichesky Institut and Sennaya Ploshchad of the St. Petersburg
Metro, the NAC confirmed.
Terrorism
probe has been launched over the blast by Russia’s Investigative
Committee.
The
NAC put the number of fatalities at 11 and the number of injured
being treated in hospitals at 45. She said that the six people being
treated in St. Petersburg hospitals for injuries remain in critical
condition.
Health
Minister Veronika Skvortsova earlier said that among the victims was
a 15-year-old girl, who has burns and a head injury.

posted on social media show bodies lying next to the damaged car,
with blood apparently spilt on a bench.
According
to health officials, the victims being treated in hospitals vary in
age from teenagers to as old as 70. They are suffering from burns,
blunt head traumas, shrapnel injuries and lung damage.
Russia’s
Investigative Committee praised the driver of the train for not
trying to stop in the tunnel after the explosion.
“He
acted right in the circumstances. The explosion happened in the
tunnel between stations, but the driver took the right decision and
brought it to the next station, which allowed evacuation and help to
the injured to start at once. This may have prevented casualties,”
the committee said.

Russian
President Vladimir Putin commented that “The causes of this event
have not been determined yet, so it’s too early to talk about
[possible causes]. The investigation will show. Certainly, we will
consider all possibilities: common, criminal, but first of all of a
terrorist nature.”
All
Metro stations are closed to passengers. Commuters were evacuated
from the subway within about an hour of the first reports of the
blast coming in.
An
undetonated improvised explosive device (IED) was discovered by
investigators at the Ploshchad Vosstaniya Station and defused by
specialists, the NAC reported. It rejected media reports which
claimed that more than one explosion occurred, saying no evidence
supporting this was found.

Alleged
photos of the IED surfaced on social media. They show a medium-sized
leather bag, which apparently held a container filled with
explosives, with ball bearings wrapped around it.
Facebook
has activated its Safety Check feature for users in St Petersburg. It
allows people to let friends and family know that they are OK during
a disaster or dangerous situation.
The
St. Petersburg city authorities declared three days of mourning for
the victims of the Metro explosion.

A
St. Petersburg resident told RT that he “was going to Mayakovskaya
station [not far from Sennaya Square, the station that was hit] when
the alarm went on and the security guards started to block all the
entrances. They just told people to get away from the area and
suggested not using the Metro today.”
According
to the resident, who identified himself as Alex, “there was a bit
of panic in the eyes of the people,” both passengers and subway
staff alike.
“As
there was an announcement that all the stations will be closed due to
technical reasons,” people understood that something was wrong and
rushed to the exits, he said.
Alex
also recalled that he saw ambulances and police cars arriving at the
station.
