MOSCOW — Russia's intelligence chief says six members of terrorist cells have been arrested in connection with last week's deadly bombing on the subway in St. Petersburg.
Last week's suicide bombing on the subway in Russia's second largest city killed 13 passengers and injured dozens. A Kyrgyz-born Russian national has been identified as the bomber.
Russian Federal Security Service Chief Alexander Bortnikov said in comments carried by Russia news agencies on Tuesday, April 11, that six members of terrorist cells have been detained in St. Petersburg and two in Moscow in connection with the attack.
Bortnikov said all of them are from former Soviet Central Asian republics and that the police found a large amount of weapons and ammunition at their homes. (AP)
