MOSCOW – A female suicide bomber killed 14 people
Sunday when she blew herself up at the main train
station in the southern city of Volgograd, raising
concerns about security in Russia just six weeks before
the Sochi Olympic Games.

The unidentified woman set off her charge after being
stopped by a police officer at the metal detectors at the
entrance to the station while it was packed with people
travelling to celebrate the New Year, regional officials
said.

Footage of the blast captured by a nearby camera
showed a huge fireball blow out the front doors and a
row of windows from the grey stone three-story
building, before huge billows of smoke poured out as
people scattered along the street.

Russia’s Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir
Markin said officials had launched an inquiry into a
suspected “act of terror”.

“A suicide bomber who was approaching a metal
detector saw a law enforcement official and, after
growing nervous, set off an explosive device,” Markin
said in televised comments.

Officials said at least 34 people were injured by the
blast that had the explosive equivalent of more than 10
kilogrammes (16 pounds) of TNT. It was the deadliest
attack in Russia for almost three years.

The police officer who spotted the woman died in the
attack while several others who were stationed at the
metal detectors were wounded by the blast.

State television said their actions prevented “hundreds”
from being killed.
