There was an explosion at a metro station in the Belarusian capital of Minsk today.
The bomb reportedly was on escalator. Eyewitnesses say at least 5 are dead and more than 50 have been injured.
Eurasia News reported:
An explosion has hit a metro station in the center of the Belarusian capital during rush hour, reportedly causing several fatalities and injuring more than a dozen.
The blast occurred at the Oktyabrskaya metro station in downtown Minsk, not far from President Alyaksandr Lukashenka’s offices.
An RFE/RL correspondent who was entering the metro when she heard the explosion, Valyantsina Aksak, reported seeing fire after the explosion and the metro station being pitched into darkness.
She said she saw “corpses” and people trying to help victims whose clothes were on fire.
Aksak said that there were many commuters at the station when the explosion hit, around 6:00 p.m. local time.

UPDATE: Israel National News reported that 11 are dead and 100 more wounded. Witnesses said the bomb was filled with nuts, bolts and other types of shrapnel.
No word yet on the identity of the perpetrator(s). However, the official Interfax news agency quoted a security source that said the explosion was most probably due to an act of terror.

Oh let me guess. The Religion of Peace being peaceful once again?
After all there is nothing more peaceful than a dead body.

Muslims from the North Caucasus, probably. Probably funded by Saudi wahhabists.

Does anyone expect the Russki dimwits to tumble to the fact that muslims are bad news? They will support muzzies until they pop a nuke in Moscow.
donh commented:
This comes just two days after an anarchist shot up a shopping mall. All this uprising and overthrowing of stable islamic states has battery rammed the gates keeping the terrorists thwarted. In all the chaos and under cover of fleeing refugees the jihadist can slip their people into Europe for bombing operations.

I can name that tune in one note!
(All levity aside, we must pray for the victims.)

Prayers for the murdered people and their families. I hope the injured people pull thru.

It’s just Islam trying to be “ecumenical”, they’re just misunderstood souls looking for acceptance. Right MSNBC?

Islamists & Islamist sympathizers in the White House are to blame..
not to mention the global silence towards holding Islamists feet to the
fire by the overwhelming majority of non-Islamist Muslim/Infidels alike..

“overwhelming majority of non-Islamist Muslim”
You really should get over here. Maybe visit a few “culturally enriched” areas. You’d be surprised how small that “overwhelming majority” actually is.

Get a grip! You really do not understand religion/belief system.
Joanne commented:
An act of terror? This is just what muslims do best – kill people.
Andreas K. commented:
Joanne, correctamundo.
I guess it’s teh same “overwhelming majority of non-Islamist Muslims” who danced in the streets after 9-11 and who are always silent when the “minority of Islamit Muslims” kills a few infidels.
Whatever an “islamist” is supposed to be.
I know what it is. It’s a neologism by the media, happily used by the politicians to make a difference between “moderate” and “radical” islam, even though neither exists.
Honor killings, for example, aren’t done by “islamists”. They’re done by mohammedans in our societies. It’s not the jihadis, who call our female LEOs “whores” and worse. It’s second and third generation immigrants.
Seriously, sometimes I wish you Americans the same level of “cultural enrichment” that we have in Europe. You’d sing a different song about islam.
