Twin blasts occurred during the rush hour at two Moscow subway stations on Monday morning, killing at least 39 people and injuring around 70.

The first attack took place at around 8:00am (04:00 GMT) at the Lubyanka station near the former KGB headquarters, which now houses the Federal Security Service. The second bomb detonated some 40 minutes later four stops along the line at Park Kultury station, which is within walking distance of the Kremlin.

"With regard to the blasts on the Moscow subway the president [Yevkurov] has ordered the heads of the Ingush law enforcement forces to check all people listed on their records to find out where they were when the attacks took place," Kaloi Alkhigov said.

While no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks, the head of the Federal Security Service (FSB), Alexander Bortnikov, said bombers may have been linked to Russia"s volatile North Caucasus.
