These are the first images of the carnage inside the St Petersburg metro
train blown up by a suicide bomber named today as a Russian citizen
from former Soviet state Kyrgyzstan.
At least 11 people were murdered and 50 injured in the blast and
horrifying pictures show bodies, blood and wreckage strewn across the
carriage of the train blown up between Sennaya Ploshchad and Sadovaya
metro stations in Russia's second city.
Russian citizen Akbarzhon Jalilov, 22, who was born in Kyrgyzstan, has
been named by security services as the suspected suicide bomber who also
planted a second device hidden in a fire extinguisher that failed to
explode.
CCTV images of the suspect have been released and shows him in a red
Parka jacket, wearing glasses and a dark green beanie hat and carrying a
rucksack on his back through the Metro.
Another CCTV image shows him walking along the street with both his
fists clenched - potentially because he was clutching the trigger for
his suicide bomb. Police believe he has close links to radical
Islamists.
