Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited the Sennaya Ploschad station where yesterday’s terrorist attack occurred and has laid flowers, paying his respects to the victims.
All ready, the entire St. Petersburg Metro systems is back open and fully functional. As Alexander Mercouris writes,
It’s time to eradicate the world of ISIS, which we remind readers is a construct of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Barack Obama White House, and neocons like John McCain.
As ISIS celebrates the horrific metro attack today in Russia, remember who broke bread with ISIS Al-Baghdadi years ago in…
Via Vocativ…
It didn’t take long for a western propaganda network to insinuate that Russian President Putin was behind the metro attack in St. Petersburg.

Though information from St. Petersburg is still sparse, it is increasingly likely that what happened there was a terror attack on its metro system, which has left at least 9 people dead and many more injured.
If this is a terror attack then the high probability is that the person or persons responsible self-identify as Jihadis even if he or they are not actually members of some Jihadi network.
(MEE) At least nine people were killed and 20 injured in explosions in a train carriage at metro stations in St Petersburg on Monday, Russia’s national anti-terrorist committee said.
Interfax news agency quoted an unnamed source as saying the blast was caused by a bomb filled with shrapnel. Another source in Russia’s emergency services told Reuters there had been only one bomb blast.
When it comes to terrorism, warnings do not always come from the barbarians, the killers and those who worship at the altar of death. Warnings also come, albeit in a very different form, from the peacemakers, the problem solvers, the well meaning and those who do good deeds.
