~16-18 dead, 50+ wounded

believed to be funded by al qaeda (or similar terrorist group) in cahoots with the chechnyans

most likely performed to protest their oppressed nature (?) and the upcoming olympics

updates:

the bomber is thought to have been a woman working for the caucasus emirate known as a "black widow" -- a female Self Delete bomber who targets civilians to avenge dead family

caucasus emirate had conducted a black widow bombing earlier in the month in volgograd on a bus in protest of the olympics being held in sochi

the prevalence of the attacks seems to only be getting worse since this bomb is much more powerful than the one used on the bus

the train station saw the most powerful explosive detonated in the city since the battle in 1942

the bomb contained about 10 kg of tnt and was rigged with shrapnel

when the bomber ran through the metal detectors at the front of the building, she became nervous when a policeman chased her and detonated the explosive early

it was carried out because islam atiev, an islamist militant working in dagestan with the emirate, was neutralized by the government

I can only guess who committed this crime. I think these terrorist events will keep occurring throughout Europe because of shifting demographics.
