2:30 am
. these golden rice. past the hour in moscow were covering breaking news here on our t.v. just recapping it for you security forces have been put on a high alert in volgograd and across southern russia the city struck by its second deadly blast within twenty four hours the latest happening on a trolley bus as it approached a market during the morning rush hour at least twelve people known to have died up to twenty eight others injured including. one year old child three said to be
2:31 am
critically ill it's suspected that a bomb was planted inside the bus and detonated remotely probably connected with sunday's train station bombing in which at least sixteen people were killed and forty five others wounded and eye witness to the blast on monday morning told us what she saw. at the moment of the explosion i was asleep i woke up because of an enormous blast i heard i heard glass shattering in the first two stories of the building i looked out of the window it was still dark and i saw. there was a blast and people were running away from it screaming some of them were wounded a lot of people were panicking running around the street it was exactly rush hour everybody was going to work or do schools there were lots of people and that's all soo busy spots located next to him or could there's a lot of traffic always there lots of people were waiting for buses or trolley
2:32 am
buses at bus stops and actually the trolley bus exploded while it was rolling and there were lots of people in the street everybody started running away from it and screaming. within a minute a police car an ambulance and fire engine all the routine streets who were were closed nobody could it broach the area people got evacuated police came over and started looking for a bomb planted nearby they did see the bodies dead bodies lying on the ground near the trolley bus and i saw bodies being carried away by people i spoke with gordon hart a senior associate at the center for international strategy who told me that trust between governments is essential to fighting the threat of global terrorism. very difficult to guard against long wills or even. organized. suits like plots. very difficult indeed unless the intelligence or police uncover
2:33 am
the nation before hand then it's up to local citizens to be vigilant generally speaking before any country any city. is very difficult to prevent these kinds of attacks it's very possible that the attacks are more driven by the upcoming holiday sometimes is that the domination of the timing of the attacks isn't simply the suicide bomber and or planners are ready to go and they don't want to wait in the event that they might be uncovered or that the suicide bomber might act out and be talking about the calculations of the handlers so it's hard to tell generally speaking these things are planned you know a couple of months in advance against they made this may have been something they wanted to take and hold off on people to do just on the eve of the olympics to scare people off from attending but circumstances force them to act earlier what do
2:34 am
you think could be done on an international level to help combat global terror like this well the most obvious thing is we have to have good international cooperation between all countries and we have to be. here in the united states. sometimes we actually want to believe what the russians say about the nature of terrorism in the north caucasus. we haven't seen united states not to think that iraq is a seriously about sort of the north caucuses and that's one of the things i think that led to this lone wolf style attack in boston although as you remember when i of the elders and i rather someone attempted to join up with the dog that was last december when he traveled to the region in two thousand and twelve so again glop or i shouldn't. certain terms of relations between western countries and russian countries a little bit more trust when it comes to the issue of terrorism. artie's margaret
2:35 am
how well is in volgograd she's been giving us updates throughout the day if you can hear me margaret tell us what are some of the latest they are hearing from the scene there what are the latest details you're getting. well as you can see behind me this is the exact site where this happened this morning this trolley bus and originally it was thought that it could possibly be in connection with the terrorist attack that happened less than twenty four hours ago but it is in fact a pan of bomb that was detonated remotely on this trolley bus killing twelve in engineering possibly twenty eight you can actually see. we're going to scoot over luckiest man march through. a lot happening on the ground you know law enforcement are they have littered the streets here. and we have an eye it looks like a military personnel marching down so where the sights and so place this morning
2:36 am
now what we do know twelve have died twenty eight engine including a one year old baby critically injured ends up this coming on the heels of the first attack on the train station less than twenty four hours ago. the moment the whole place has been cordoned off i'm standing two hundred meters away from the site of the blast from a far you see people who look like bomb experts there are plenty of ambulances here traffic is at a standstill which is very unusual for volgograd were there also many civilian people here many are calling on their cell phones others crying they're trying to find out if their relatives were on the bus that blew up what's horrible is that the incident happened in the morning close to the market as people came to buy things for the new year's holiday it's also now tough to get so phone connections many people are trying to figure out what to do next. now the city of margaret still reeling from the events that happened in volgograd so obviously security as
2:37 am
we can see being stepped up drastically in the city in the event here or in light of this event here tell us more more details that you could give us about what happened yesterday at the train station. what we do you know that blast that ripped through the security corridor of the will the ground train station yesterday instantly killing a police officer to try to stop that bomb from firms taking place you know what we do know they are originally it was talks of a female suicide bomber possibly a black widow suicide bomber what we've learned at law enforcement officials. inside the head of a grenade and they have determined that that on her is most likely a male you know six could be entered in that blast or floor and so moscow restaurant meeting here in volgograd receiving treatment and that situation less
2:38 am
than twenty four hours ago and now we have a situation on the ground. updates from the scene in volgograd thank you very much for that update we'll be checking back in with you throughout the day. volgograd busy train station that was rocked by the blast of a terrorist bomb on sunday afternoon shards of metal ripped through an area around a security checkpoint as passengers waited for their luggage to be inspected officials say the bomb was equivalent to at least ten kilos of t.n.t. and only the security barrier prevented this scene of devastation from becoming much worse but it's impossible to calculate the toll something like this has on its victims many are still reeling. but i bent down to collect my documents when
2:39 am
i saw a flash of light and there was a blast i was thrown back by the explosion when i came to my senses a man who was carrying me only outside was i able to get a breath of air and saw the to understand what was happening so my son father and niece were inside the train station when the gloss went off they're all in intensive care now they're badly injured they were headed for a train to moscow but never made it a second bomb was later discovered it had failed to detonate investigators are now looking into the identity of the person or persons who carried this out it's now suspected the attacker was male despite earlier reports of a so-called black widow suicide bomber this is the second time in just a few months that the southern russian city has been the target of extremist october suicide blast on a passenger bus which killed six and over thirty others is still raw and the memories of people here governments around the world are beginning to realize that
2:40 am
fighting international terror threats can only be done globally as both organized cells alone terrorist continue to slip through law enforcement's next we're talking about a jihadist movement which is linked to al qaida that is. not just in russia but also in other countries including in syria as we know now now the direct motive is not different from the previous. on moscow on other locations inside russia and i would say is not so different from attacks that has happened around the world i'll got a c.v. it's against democracies against countries that they want to consider as enemies with a tragedy like this one that hit volgograd just days ahead of the new year's celebrations it's no surprise authorities thought it more appropriate to cancel the festivities and to clear the first three days of twenty point as a period of mourning in volgograd margaret how low are t. . and suggested the timing of the attacks is linked to the upcoming winter olympic
2:41 am
games in sochi both cities in the same region but as you can see on the map the distance between them more than six hundred fifty kilometers we spoke with a former member of the alpha special forces unit who says there is confidence in the massive security efforts being put forth in sochi. all the attacks in volgograd are part of the same chain the terrorists are trying to incite fear ahead of the winter olympics so that people become scared to go to saatchi no wonder they've chosen the holiday season for this to make it even more painful for the people and to draw plenty of world attention but i believe this won't have any effect on the olympics and the people who are planning to come will still do so they can be sure of their safety because almost two billion dollars have been allocated to security measures that's even more than the sum for the london olympics. arthur attire from russia's institute of strategic research says that all three attacks that took place in volgograd in the last few months are interconnected. this is the third explosion in
2:42 am
a short time starting from. the end they are definitely related even though no leaders of terrorists ever assume that responsibility so far we know preliminary information about the people who pulled off yesterday's terrorist attack but definitely those to use attacks are interrelated and they are aimed at destabilizing not only north caucasus but also joining it territories areas that are close to the zone of instability the purpose is to destabilize the whole of southern russia especially in the run up of the winter olympics in sochi which will be the major event in the world of sports the sponsors this serious attack pursued the goal of showing to
2:43 am
their own sponsors their own investors in turn to shoot to them that terrorism does bear fruit that it does bear profit and that it does have a potential in southern russia. recapping our breaking news security forces on high alert in volgograd in southern russia this city has been hit by its second deadly blast within twenty four hours the latest happening on a trolley bus as it approached a market during the morning rush hour at least twelve people known to have died up to twenty eight others injured including a one year old child three said to be critically wounded it suspected that a bomb was played it planted inside the bus and detonated remotely probably connected with sunday's train station bombing in that killed at least sixteen people and left forty five others wounded well bring you more developments from volgograd shortly stay with us. on their way to and talk to the crew of the i can to make sure that face many challenges. here you have to look out for yourself crashing on to rocks trapped in

the kremlin arena yes of course where here of course we're waiting to hear for their for the reaction from the country's authorities were already know that president early in the morning has met with the heads of the federal security service and the minister of the interior they both have briefed him on the situation in the volgograd region about the security measures in there as well as have discussed. they have undertaken in this other. stuff. region the two beds of militants is here terrorism unfortunately in the south of russia. president putin actually requested that the head of the federal security service go to volgograd he's actually heading there right now to personally oversee the situation on the ground and keep tabs on the developments there now there is also of course talk about the compensation for the families of those who have lost their lives in the two terror attacks as well as to those who

2:51 am
this situation is tense right before the holidays and security measures have been heightened also in the russian capital in moscow so at this point of course the situation as a develops there is probably going to be more reaction and possibly more measures as we find out more about who is standing behind these attacks and what is going to happen next will be keeping a very close eye on these and we'll bring you the latest as we get it all right arena thank you very much for that update well earlier my colleague up of all those spoke with security expert from moscow state university. marc sloboda about the developments in volgograd mass transport has always been a target of these islamic terrorist attacks in russia we've seen several terrorist attacks on trains previously as well as on metro stations within moscow over the last decade plus i think they calculate this as it is extremely disruptive to the savard of russian society creates
2:52 am
a true atmosphere of terror when any and every citizen can be affected who uses public transportation which is the majority of the population although grad is a principal focus simply because it's an easy and close target so the south of the caucasus is going to be the driving force of the terra threats that. the terrorist the terrorist threats are a loosely based coalition that is often well the islamic caliphate. that is centered around doku umarov who has taken over several years ago of the larger chechen caucasus terrorist groups doku umarov has taken these groups in a much more strictly islamic fundamentalist action than ever has been before they have largely been displaced from chechnya itself due to security measures there
2:53 am
over the last decade but they still exist in the fringes in the hills of dog just on a round and have support from outside the country. they operate regularly in turkey in saudi arabia and they keep getting support which keeps them going despite their small numbers. what do you think needs to be done to prevent french attacks in the . complicated question and i don't think any government in the world that is. it's recognized how to stop. terrorism particularly terrorism inspired by a fundamentalist visions of islam this is expression more difficult in russia because it is a homegrown terrorist albeit one from a very restricted southern area of the country i think the combination of what has worked best in chechnya which is a combination of large amounts of federal aid to restart the economy restart
2:54 am
employment cooperation with the local moderates sufi islamic. mosques and institutions along with a firm hand of security such as ram as i'm could your office has shown he i think this model needs to be extended. as well to august on and. and this is the best chance of combating a problem that has no easy solution recapping our breaking news this hour security forces on high alert in volgograd and across southern russia the city has been hit by its second deadly blast within twenty four hours the latest happening on a trolley bus as it approached a market during morning rush hour at least twelve people known to have died up to twenty eight others wounded including a one year old child three said to be critically injured in suspected that the bomb was planted inside the bus and detonated remotely the event probably connected with
