The terror always finds reason to grow, this time it is finding support in Russia.They are using the dirty trick of bombing to disturb the peace and growth of nation.Well it will be a wild guess, but very close one, who is suporting these newly born terror group.


Three people have been killed and at least one more injured when a car blew up in the northern Russian city of St Petersburg, officials say.

They say the explosion happened at about 0855 local time (0555 GMT) near an underground station.

All the victims, one of whom was a toddler, were travelling in the car.

The cause of the blast in Russia's second largest city was not was not immediately known. A police investigation is now under way.



The three people who were killed were from the same family and included a four-year-old child. The taxi driver suffered serious shrapnel injuries in the chest and later had surgery in hospital.

So far it is unclear why a grenade would have exploded inside a taxi.

It could have been an accident as people still collect relics from World War II battlefields in the area,

The city also has a history of racist attacks and criminal activity, and there have also been what appear to have been terrorist incidents.

Last year, six people were injured in a blast inside a McDonald's restaurant right in the heart of St Petersburg.

Tuesday's taxi explosion happened as Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was in the St Petersburg region to inspect a border post with neighboring Finland...
