1. Info here: Moscow Train Blast Said to Cause Deaths

MOSCOW (AP) - An explosion rocked the Moscow metro on Friday, causing casualties, the Emergency Situation Ministry said.

Clouds of smoke filled the tunnel near the Paveletskaya station and passengers were being evacuated, ministry spokesman Viktor Beltsov said.

The explosion occurred in the second wagon of a train as it left the Paveletskaya station near the center of the Russian capital and headed southeast, the Russian news agency Interfax reported, citing emergency officials.

The Russian capital has been on alert for terrorist attacks following a series of suicide bombings that officials have blamed on Chechen rebels.
