“Pictured: First images of ‘terror suspect’ accused of planting a nail bomb which ripped through carriages on St Petersburg metro killing at least ten and injuring 50 while Putin visited the city,” by Gareth Davies, Julian Robinson and Will Stewart, Mailonline, April 3, 2017:
These are the first images of the suspected terrorist accused of planting a nail bomb which ripped through carriages on a St Petersburg train killing at least ten and injuring 50 today.
Several Russian media outlets have released the CCTV picture of the bearded suspect who was wearing a long, black top and a hat blamed for caused the carnage by detonating a bomb that was packed with shrapnel.
The terrifying incident took place on a train that was travelling between Sennaya Ploshchad and Sadovaya metro stations.
Dozens have been injured, including at least three children, as it was reported the man left a briefcase on a train before moving carriages moments before the deadly blast.
A second explosive device disguised as a fire extinguisher was found and defused in a nearby station.
Bloodied passengers were left strewn across the platform in the Russian city as emergency services scrambled to save those wounded by the bomb and the resulting shards of glass and twisted metal.
Vladimir Putin is in his hometown of St Petersburg today for talks with the president of Belarus and confirmed ‘there are dead and injured’, offering his condolences to the families of those killed.
The Kremlin leader, who wanted to visit the scene in the aftermath of the attack but was held back by security services, said: ‘I have already spoken to the head of our special services, they are working to ascertain the cause of the blasts.
‘The causes are not clear, it’s too early. We will look at all possible causes, terrorism as well as common crime.’
Interfax news agency cited an unidentified source who says the suspect in Monday’s blast might have left the explosive device in a bag….

barry campbell says
Lets all hope that (although unfortunate) as a result of this terrible incident Putin will start to make it very tough on the Muslim terrorists?
It is my opinion this should enforce the need for Russia and the USA to get together on a “joint action” to wipe out all of ISIS.
salim says
Trust me ISIS only happens to be the enemy for now, in the past it was Al Qaeda and Taliban and Zarqawi and others. Our enemy is NOT ISIS but the ideology behind it. ISIS may get destroyed soon only for other more sinister groups to fill its place.
Our enemy is Islam (especially the moderate Muslims who facilitate the job of the radical ones) and the liberals who work hand in hand with moderate Muslims.
underbed cat says
Agree.
underbed cat says
I agree Salim, so why did Putin, according to reports align with Iran…a big sponsor of terrorism? May I ask how you came to your conclusion…?
salim says
I know how Islam controls the minds of its followers with iron fist because I was a Muslim for decades. As to Putin, I think he is playing politics.
I must add that its my personal opinion that terrorism today comes mainly from sunni muslims ( e.g. Jordan, Egypt, The Gulf States …). Iranians support Hamas ( which proves they are stupid) and Hizbollah which has a “different kind” of terrorism ( they are not involved in beheadings or terrorism in Europe).
I am an Arab and live in the UK and mix with Muslims of all kinds and can assure you that the Iranians in general tend to be liberals although their government is very Islamic. The Arabs are the exact opposite, very Islamic nations although their governments are less so. If there is a free election tomorrow the Arab world would end with very radical governments and Iran would become non islamic.
ElderlyZionist says
Interesting observations Salim, thanks for sharing.
Kiel says
I totally agree that statement. The ideology behind fuels the hate and remorseless actions. The core segments in the ideology of Islam has to be purged from the human civilization. – One day those severely hit by this ideology will gather and launch a devastating firestorm on the Arab/Islamic countries.
ed cox says
As I see it any muslim can decide today is the day to follow the koran .
underbed cat says
I agree with this comment Ed Cox, and was surprised by Salim’s statement that only Sunni behead when that seems to be a stated method used by the writer of the Quran. But I will not press him for details…whatever the method terrorism is terrorizing and deadly for the infidel victim/ believer or non-believer.
salim says
To underbed cat: I meant sunnis are far more involved in beheadings than Shia or other groups.
berserker says
I agree. I think, however, that the Progressives are a bigger problem. The Mohammedans are still small in number and do not have political power. They are also fairly stupid. The Progressives, however, have great power; especially the ability to influence culture. They control schools, universities and the media. The smarter Mohammedans namely the Muslim Brotherhood know this and have allied with Progressives.
Savvy Kafir says
Berserker, as a progressive who is very aware of the dangers posed by Islam in the West, I’d say you’re underestimating the threat posed by Islamists themselves — although they do get a HUGE amount of support from clueless, PC enablers on the political left, who have allied themselves with the most ultra-conservative ideology on the planet, for reasons that are beyond contempt.
RationalVoice says
Exactly my thoughts Salim. This evil perverted distortion of the human brain called Islamism will come back in another form like a malignant weed even if the current murder cult Daesch is eradicated
The civilised world will somehow have to rip out its roots, condemn it utterly in the media and stop running around looking for excuses for it after each atrocity.
So called moderates should become ex-muslims. You are either for it or against it. That is where the battle lines need to be drawn !! This includes the leftist,liberal apologists who give it succour and perpetuate its existence

Yes–even today, ISIS is just one part of the Jihad threat.

I’m afraid Putin does a lot of appeasing of Islam as well. This kind of dhimmitude is not limited to the West.

Putin isn’t going to take this lying down . He might just use sone power. Look out boys

This is not the first Jihad terror attack in Russia, and I’m afraid Putin is still opening Mosques in Moscow, enabling a nuclear Iran, and winking at the imposition of Shari’ah in Chechnya.
I wish he *were* tough on Islam.

ISIS are a being used as a scapegoat for muslims everywhere doing what muhammad commanded them to …. Blaming ISIS detracts the public from the true scale of the problem with islam and this suits our cowardly and corrupt media and governments perfectly
Savvy Kafir says
Yes — ISIS, and terrorism in general, are just the most visible aspects of a MUCH larger problem.
Most people have no clue of the scale of the danger we’ve created by allowing millions of people with a hostile, imperialistic ideology to live among us in the West.
dumbledoresarmy says
The ‘peaceful’ – currently-inactive – mass of the Ummah essentially ‘human-shields’ the jihadis who are arise from and are nurtured and indoctrinated amongst them.
The Mohammedan Mob, the Ummah, the ‘Muslim community’ is the concealing, nurturing, sheltering sea in which the Jihadis swim and from which, ceaselessly, they emerge.
Oliver says
But, if the US & Russia join forces to wipe out ISIS, the assholes, I mean Democraps and their friends in the media will say, “see, Putin & Trump are friends”.
Although, it is my view, the Dems were hoping for a Clinton win- they know that she can be bought ( they bought her for 4140 million- for the uranium deal); the Russians know that Pres. Trump cannot be bought- he doesn’t need the money.
The head of WikiLeaks said that it was not Russians who gave him the emails. (Although Obama’s intelligence people and Dem Senators said that he has no credibility); and nobody has said the emails were false.
said before- when WikiLeaks was leaking emails critical of Bush, the democraps loved it. It was only when they leaked Saudi emails that showed concern over iran, that the party of treason became upset.
My rant for the hour
Guy Macher says
Russians used to be such hotheads. In the past, they would have rushed out and executed anyone who looked like that bearded barrow. I’m growing nostalgic.

perhaps, he really is innocent- and did not do anything. Otherwise, why would he have gone to the police? If he was an accomplice, I am sure that there would be others, who would take him in; he could shave his beard; change clothing; etc.
salim says
Condolences to the Russians.
Knowing the level of hatred they feel towards Russia (because it stands against their interests in Syria), Muslims must be very pleased with this carnage.
I think world powers should forget their differences and work together against the evil enemy who targets all of us.
Angemon says
“Knowing the level of hatred they feel towards Russia (because it stands against their interests in Syria), Muslims must be very pleased with this carnage.”
Assad, who Putin backs, has ties with islamic terrorists groups. For example, the Syrian government aided Al-Qaeda to conduct a suicide bombing attack in Amman, back in 2005.
salim says
I know politics is a dirty business, but I am shocked at the Syrian involvement you mentioned. is it confirmed or just speculations?
gravenimage says
Syria has been involved with funding Jihad for a long time. They have also backed Hizb’allah’s terrorism against Israel.
Rosewood11 says
What an evil-looking man!!! Fortunately, Mr. Putin and his friend, Gen. Zolotov will take care of him and his cronies. The Russians have handled this kind of thing before, and maybe it’s time to pay another little visit to Chechnya!!!
gravenimage says
Right now, Kadyrov has been allowed to impose Shari’ah law in Chechnya without opposition from Putin–and he has opened mega-Mosques in Moscow along with Mahmoud Abbas. I’m not sure why so many people seem to think that he is uncompromising on Islam–he is anything but.
Shmooviyet says
“… all possible causes…”
If the guilty party indeed turns out to be your average ‘common criminal’ — pickpocket, crackhead– he’s still certainly gained the blessings and respect of ISIS.
It will be interesting to learn the motivation of a common (street) criminal; already the “mental illness” phrase being re-warmed.

When this happened I think it took everyone about 2 or 3 seconds to guess “who dunnit.” Why Putin even bothers with the appeasement that it could be some other group (it’s the MO of *one* group) seem silly.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families.
IQ al Rassooli says
All we read and watch in the American FAKE news is against RUSSIA and Putin as the deadliest ENEMIES of the USA
To put it mildly: BULL CRAP
Dear Americans
I am an Iraqi in exile who does not have an axe to grind with Republicans or Democrats but who has been following and studying these subjects for over 30 years
Not a single main line New Media is telling the TRUTH about Putin and Russia
The Communist Soviet Union was a mortal enemy of the USA; NOT Russia after the COLLAPSE of Communism. Reagan agreed with Gorbachev for obvious reasons of security NOT to encroach upon the borders of Russia.
Obama has been doing just this for the last eight years. Putin ONLY occupied the Crimea and a slither of the eastern part of the Ukraine AFTER the USA and EU helped OVERTHROW the pro Putin prime minister of the Ukraine and replaced him with one pro Obama
The Crimea was part of Russia since Catherine the Great and became part of the Ukraine at the whim of Premier Nikita Khrushchev (Ukrainian) WITHOUT Politburo agreement. The Crimea also harboured the entirety of the Russian Black Sea fleet.
Russians LOVE Americans and do their utmost to emulate them. Russians are NOT enemies of Americans. Putin is NOT a threat to the USA.
The COMMON enemy of the USA, Russia, China, India, Israel and ALL other non Muslim humanity Infidels/ Kuffar (currently 80% of humanity) are MUSLIMS and Islam.
Since 911, there have been OVER 30,000 terrorist attacks by Muslims against non Muslims /Infidels/ Kuffar (mostly CHRISTIANS) all over the globe
Of course not ALL Muslims are Terrorists BUT most assuredly ALL Terrorist attacks against Infidels are by MUSLIMS!
Under Obama’s watch, the most PERSECUTED people on Earth have been CHRISTIANS by Muslims and Obama NEVER uttered a word
All the garbage about Russia’s hacking deviates from and obfuscates the FACT that these REVELATIONS showed how CORRUPT both the Media and the Democrats (Hillary Clinton) are
DJ Trump would have won anyway because his vision of America was MUSIC to the ears of tens of millions of Americans who have been subjected to DRACONIAN Political Correctness mindless Thought Control for eight years and they have at last a LEADER who is energizing them with HOPE and a Light at the End of the Tunnel
The USA should JOIN with Russia (all ALL those suffering from Muslim terror) to combat the deadliest enemy of humanity called ISLAM

Wellington says
I find you way too sanguine about Russia, IQ. Just yesterday I listened to Leon Aron of the American Enterprise Institute detail how Russian government controlled TV has Russia virtually at war with the West, especially America, because, of course, America and the West are the aggressors. Yeah, try telling that to the Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, Czechs, et al. Eastern Europeans know that Russia will NEVER treat them as an equal and will look upon them, per George Kennan’s astute assessment, as vassals or enemies.
Putin’s regime is so corrupt that he has had to whip up an external enemy to take focus off of this. So, in typical Russian fashion, the West is the bad guy and poor Holy Mother Russia is under attack again from the bad Westies. Meanwhile, Putin has cozied up to Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror in all the world, and has continued an ad nauseam litany about how Islam is a great religion and Islamic terrorists groups have betrayed this wonderful religion. What rot.
Putin is a killer and like so many Russian leaders before him on the wrong side of history. He detests NATO, the greatest military alliance in the history of man for the protection and preservation of freedom, which is why so many Eastern European states have wanted to join it (and yes, I am fully aware that Turkey still in NATO is an egregious phenomenon since Turkey under Erdogan is in full anti-Ataturk mode). Putin just proves yet again, how tedious, that whether Russia is under Czars, under First Secretaries or whomever, it will validate virtually all the negative stereotypes about the Russians.
And I hope you at least appreciate this much and that is that Jihad Watch and Robert Spencer would be in big trouble in Russia. JW would be shut down and Spencer would be in jail or even no more. Hopefully you will appreciate at least this irony while defending a Russia THAT NEVER LEARNS. And while you’re at it, perhaps you would like to invite some Ukrainian-Americans over to your home for their take on Russia. Yeah, consider that.
IQ al Rassooli says
Wellington
Thank you for your reply. I am very much aware of almost all the items you brought up BUT you have NOT addressed the fact that Putin (no matter how corrupt) does not want WAR with the West and if he was indeed as aggressive as you think he is, all he needs are a few armored divisions that can roll over any of the Easter European countries and by the time NATO moves, it would be ‘a fait accomplis’!
According to the US Military themselves, almost 50% of the air force and navy are INOPERABLE because of 8 years of self destruction under Obama while the Russians have been modernizing and increasing their power in all fields
Let us face FACTS! No super power on Earth ALONE can stop Islamic terror. Only the UNITED powers of the USA Russia China India and others can do so. Russia needs America and America needs Russia because the COMMON enemy is Islam and or Muslims.
Sincerely

Kafir & Proud!
Wellington says
I agree, IQ, that America needs Russia and Russia needs America. I have long argued that Russo-American relations should be optimal. Sure, the two nations will have differences, but what two nations don’t? After all, nations don’t have friends, only interests. Hopefully, however, such differences will be at a minimal level. Sure aren’t at present.
Having said this, I disagree with your basic statement, i.e., that Putin does not want war with the West. Oh yes he does. Perhaps not in a direct hot war kind of way, but he certainly has contempt for the West and seeks the eradication of NATO, a military organization, as I noted in my previous post, that is the single greatest military organization in history for the preservation and promotion of freedom (know of a better one?——then name it).
That Putin hates NATO speaks volumes. And don’t for a minute think that Eastern Europeans aplenty have not noticed this. For instance, I would ask you why has Poland so much wanted to be in NATO while Russia looks at NATO as an enemy? Ditto for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, et al. Yes, answer this if you will.
That Putin has such contempt for NATO, which he surely does, says a great deal. And, once again, Turkey still remaining in NATO under Erdogan is a blight on NATO to be sure. Turkey in NATO now is the turd in the punch bowl of this great military alliance. One knows this or should know this. Hey, even great things have weaknesses from time to time. Turkey in NATO under Erdogan is an example here.
Putin also wants the reconstitution of the old USSR and surely you must know that Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians, among others, comprehend this only too well. You are not naïve enough to think otherwise and I aver this based on so many of your previous posts here at JW which reveal a high intelligence and a fine knowledge of the world at large. But let me ask you this: Were you an Estonian, or a Latvian, or a Pole, or a Czech, or a Slovak, or a Lithuanian——ah, it’s a long list indeed——–what would you think of Putin?
In any case, you have not addressed Putin’s continual apologias for Islam. They’re as sickening as were Obama’s. Nor have you addressed what I stated in my previous post, that a site like JW would not be allowed in Putin’s Russia and Robert Spencer would be in jail or even worse off in said Putin’s Russia. Surely you won’t deny this. Hope not lest I think less of you.
What is needed is an American President and a Russian President who agree, and quite openly, that Islam is a menace to both their nations and to so many other nations as well. Trump is a step in the right direction here, e.g., in March of 2016, when still a candidate for President, he said, and I quote, “I think Islam hates us.” When has Putin said anything remotely like this? Quite the contrary, the man has been a rank apologist for Islam (the Russian Patriarch has too) again and again and again and has said again and again and again that Islamic terrorist organizations like ISIS betray a good and great religion in Islam. See what I mean here?
Finally, yes I agree with you that under Obama the American military was degraded, but the Russian military is still far worse. As Tom Clancy noted, perhaps as much as 50% of the Russian military are alcoholics, and if one were to go onto an American submarine and there was a problem, nine times out of ten, an enlisted man would be fixing that problem. By contrast, nine times out of ten only Russian officers on a sub would know how to fix that difficulty. Speaks volumes about readiness I would contend.
But thank you for this give and take. We both see Islam as a menace and that is a good start, a very good start. Where we differ, well these things can be ironed out, now can’t they? Including where Russo-America relations are concerned. For the sake of freedom, respecting which Putin knows so little about, let’s hope so. Take care.
gravenimage says
I have the greatest respect for you, IQ–but I have to agree with Wellington here. There is no doubt that Putin has been aggressive against his neighbors and hostile to the free West.
And despite what some appear to believe, he has been anything but consistent in his opposition to Jihad–and that is putting it quite mildly.
gravenimage says
I would love to see Russia and the West work together against the threat of Islam, though.

The political editor of The Wall Street Journal, some weeks ago had a video 9on the WSJ website) where he said, take out FIVE COUNTIES IN NEW YORK CITY AND L.A. CAL., AND TRUMP WON THE POPULAR VOTE.
(Cal. does not require picture ID to vote).
Posted before–GOOGLE-NOT EXACTLY CONSERVATIVE, RIGHT WING OR PRO TRUMP.
3,144 COUNTIES IN THE US.
3,084 OF THEM- TRUMP GOT A MAJORITY OR PLURALITY OF THE VOTES.
Personally, I see for the Democrats who are up for reelection in 2018- (all 198 in the House, just under 30 in the Senate)- they should be careful. (And, of the 1198 in the House, somewhere between 60 and 70 are from a few states-NY, Cal. Ill, Mass, Hawaii).
West Va, ND and Missouri All went for Trump- at least the first 2 by double digits- and their Senators have said that they will vote for Gorsich. (I think that they see- if they don’t, they will lose next year).

There’s a war going on. A third world war is already at work but unrecognized by half of the Western populations. But times are moving nonetheless, and on a given day the Islamic world will feel the backlash. Like Germany did after it was obvious to the Britons after Munich that Hitler was a notorious liar and Nazism has to be eradicated.

It never occurred, previously, to me that civil war with muslims could break out in Russia before Europe.
gravenimage says
Of course, blowing up a train station is not a “common crime”. How could it be?
Walter Sieruk says
First, this wicked bombing in St Petersburg, Russia is yet another sin onto God and heinous crime against humankind that may have been committed by or, at least, inspired by that demonic jihad entity, ISIS. Moreover, the cruel, brutal and murderous ISIS jihadists are so extremely deluded about themselves that they can’t be honest and acknowledge that the Bible verse found in Psalm 30 2,3. Does, very much, describe them. For it reads “Surely I am a brute, not a man; I do not have human understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.” [N.I.V.] Likewise, the jihadists who compose ISIS in such an Islamic delusional and irrational state of mind in their mad Islamic quest to establish a caliphate that they are further described in the Bible book of Ecclesiastes 9:3. This reads “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead.”
Second, one of the explanation as to how such totally unconscionable, ruthless, vicious actions and murderous are committed by the Muslim terrorists who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS is answer in the following . The jihadists of ISIS are engaging in the Islamic doctrine of “Muruna” which is the dogma of Islam that teaches committing evil for the greater good is a noble part of the jihad for Islam. This is, in essence, the same type of “philosophy” that the communists had gone by in the twentieth century. That it’s a “good thing “ to commit many evils to obtain a “worker’s paradise.” Likewise, during World War II even the Nazis had this line of thinking.” To express, as in to illustrate this idea, even more, is by using a twenty-first century movie. Near the end of this movie, just before the final defeat of the super-arch –villain General Zod , that super villain said “No matter how brutal and deadly I was I did it for the greater good.” That is the common mindset of many villains including those of ISIS.
Third,ISIS jihad attacks do lead to an important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. There, the answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

It would be great if students at school and church were given an honest confrontation between the difference between the statements in our constitution and the koran. Our fifth amendment says no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. This is a great statement which shows an interest on the part of the writers of the constitution to stop phony death sentences from happening in the new country they are starting. Contrast their excellent comment with an exaggeration in the koran which says most Jews are treacherous and there are only a few good ones. If there was a real confrontation like this so the better man wins instead of the phony propaganda which goes on about islam in the schools, students would realize the founders of our country were better men then those who wrote the koran. This seems like a long term strategy which could help eliminate events like this murder in Russia from happening in the future. This is no doubt what those who started our country would want to see happen. They should not be getting blended with the words of lesser men, which is what is happening now.

In this regard and respecting other typical Russian rot (e.g., the inability to distinguish between capitalism and crony capitalism), Putin has done “his bit”——to the detriment of his own country and to the West at large. Long term, he’s worse than a nothing. Long term he is yet another Russian negative in a very long list of Russian negatives. Herein lies his real legacy.

You have no evidence that this had anything to do with Islam. It is Muslims who are the victims, stop persecuting Muslims with your Islamophobia.

Attack may have been a controlled operation by KGB in the wake of the anti-government and anti-Putin protests last days.
Similarly, a terror “attack & siege”, in 2002, against Moscow theater, was staged by KGB and perpetrators deliberately pushed by middle-men to carry it out in order to take stringent measures later to strengthen Putin’s regime.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis
Several human rights activists that insisted on 2002 attack’s independent investigation were murdered, including Alexander Litvinenko and Anna Politkovskaya, by regime people.
Yes, today’s attack could be a “jihadi”, “islamic”, “terrorist” one, however in Russia things usually happen differently. Russia is in no way a democratic country so as to apply a western patterns to understand its terror cases.
Similarly, again, Beslan school case in 2004 was a staged theater.
