station in central moscow and france is that right now. you've met people traveling from the airport back into the city what are they saying about. well it's been a lot of shock and a lot of dismay some people were and many people were scattered about the airport when it happened some people thought it was construction work they had no idea bomb had actually gone gone off there was dust falling from the ceiling isn't it seemed a bit odd to them but they had no idea just how how abnormal the situation actually was a lot of people said they didn't actually see or hear anything but they smelled a lot of heavy smoke and got on the train out of the airport as soon as possible this train is about forty kilometers away i'm sorry the distance is about forty kilometers away from the airport to get into this station so it does offer them a very quick ride to avoid traffic so a lot of passengers were talking with each other about their experiences on the train before it before they got here and their passports were checked by security a lot of people

here is a look back at the history of terrorism in moscow over the last few years. >> terrorism in moscowseems that the city's residents know only too well. this city has repeatedly been the target of attacks in recent years. in most cases, a chechen terrorist groups ever claimed responsibility or have been blamed by russian authorities. just 10 months ago, march 2010, the were blasted into the moscow subway stations. 39 passengers were killed in the attacks, more than 70 wounded. the suicide bombers struck during the morning rush hour. it is believed the attackers were so-called black widows, women from the north caucuses. six years earlier, february 2004, another attack on the moscow subway. a bomb blast killed 40 people and wounded more than 100. here, too, moscow police suspected a suicide bomber from chechnya. and the attack put -- to place in the morning rush hour. and there was a similar attack in august of the same year, when a young woman blue result of, killing nine others. an islamic terrorist group supported by chechen militants claimed responsibility. in july to a dozen three

a bomb has gone off at moscow's main airport domodedovo earlier today at four thirty pm moscow time so far we understand that thirty five have been killed and one hundred thirty have been injured sixty have been admitted to hospitals and the russian government on this opinion has said he will provide financial help to all those affected also had word from the white house spokesman speaking on behalf of president obama who has condemned the outrage and has sent condolences to the russian people. the airport itself is certainly the biggest and busiest here in moscow one of three airports it's home to something like seventy seven airlines from around the world who i should say home as such but it's a destination for seventy seven. russian and international who come to dominate the vote today was a very busy time and it speculated that it was a suicide bomb that went off in the arrivals area of moscow's domodedovo airport to begin with it was speculated that it was in the baggage reclaim area but just through from that area is the arrivals hall the waiting area where many people from outsi

exploded at moscow's main airport domodedovo earlier today four thirty pm moscow time that's one thirty pm g.m.t. we're getting reports that thirty five have been killed and one hundred thirty been injured we have some mobile phone footage of the aftermath of that explosion to give you an idea of the geography it's speculated that the bomb was a suicide bomb that went off in the arrivals hall in the section where members of the public can't wait and meeting greet passengers who just got off the planes and gone through immigration security and picked up their bags from the baggage reclaim area and just through from that baggage reclaim area a large number of public can wait to meet the passengers and it's from there that it's speculated that the bomb the suicide bomb went off killing a vast number of people and injuring many many more we bring you the latest and most of the developments.

and the moscow region is now. yes absolutely well it's in times like this one usually a country or a nation comes together and the russia is a multinational multi confessional country there being very church services being held in various churches and synagogues and mosques all across the country and of course especially in moscow and here at. one dead about their old will also be a commemorative service that's going to be held at the church that is located on the premises off the airport and in the chapel that's inside the airport as well of course people are also flocking to the scene to pay respects there laying flowers and grief so as close to the site of the monday's bombing as possible now you have to remember that that area has been cordoned off on monday and still hasn't been reopened only people arriving there can access it other than that everybody has to stay in the main building just in the departures area but still flowers and candles are being led to it's a very emotional scene there right now i have

also of note was the fact that the moscow's mayor and also the regional governor of the moscow region made a very swift public response to go to the scenes the hospitals and the airport to show leadership on the ground and to be at the center of the decision making process. although this incident happened walked twenty two kilometers outside of central moscow is clearly having an impact on all the major transportation hubs throughout the city but what's the atmosphere like there you are in the streets of moscow at the moment of this tragic incident just a few hours later what's it like to be there on the streets of moscow. well obviously this is some distance but as as the president said in his in his address really. it's a matter of public transport safety public transport hubs security massively steps up especially the other airports but also here in the center of moscow i'm pretty close to the kremlin now in the head of the federal security service there's a visibly heightened police presence on the streets here it is reminiscent of the increased police presence after the moscow me

one of many reasons moscow was warning the u.s. about threats of islamic terrorists but. for nine eleven if this in fact was following monday's attack us media outlets flipped the fuehrer mongering switch morning about a possible destabilization of the caucasus region and the price of oil the worldwide price of oil which is already high that's right would get even higher and as russian president dmitri medvedev prepared to head to the world economic forum in davos a fox talking head warned the world about more deadly attacks on the horizon i'm sure the terrorists are already in place in davos where they make an incident occur the swiss police are very tough that is problematic but they've been there every year for the past several years and my guess is they'll try simply of some of it you're within twenty four hours of the deadly bombings in moscow the mainstream media and the u.s. spy on the story in several different directions from fear to frantic analysis many american reports fail to deliver the facts of a story or the investi

i mean a day of mourning was declared only in moscow and the moscow region but it is definitely the whole nation who is grieving for the victims tell us more. absolutely well like as you said. the day of mourning will be held in most region but of course is the entire country that has come together in grief over this horrific tragedy which occurred on monday afternoon of course to start with major channels and radio stations will change their broadcasting schedule there will be no interest payment programs that will try and cut down the commercials to the minimum but of course that's not just the official side it's mostly people coming together and being united in the face of grief we have to remember that most code that rushes in multinational multi confessional country and of course people of various nationalities and religious views are coming together they're flocking to the laying wreaths and flowers to the side of the body of course the site of the bombing itself the rival school is still cordoned off to people only those actually arriving to get access to it but people are still co

hospitals here moscow lindsay can you hear me. yes i can. tell us what's being done now this point to help those injured in the blast i believe there are over one hundred people in hospitals at the moment. that's right and currently these hospitals are taking blood donations and letting the public know what more it can do to help these people out there are one hundred ten people in hospital at this point thirty nine of those are seriously injured four critically injured it's very tough and go still for those for those four people eight of the people in the hospitals are internationals folks hailing from italy france england and serbia one of the people who is actually deceased was ukrainian playwright ana. her name is very recognizable to people who many people in the theater in the theater world in this part of the country and she has is known to have been deceased now prime minister putin did meet with the health minister yesterday asking her and her deputies to go to the hospitals where the injured had been taken around moscow

thirty five people have been killed and almost two hundred one that in a blast at a moscow airport it was the largest terror attack in the russian capital since this metro was bombed last march. hospitals across the capital have taken at around one hundred i'll be injured with almost half of them in a critical condition. investigators believe the attack was most likely a suicide bombing and experts say international terrorists are involved making it more than an internal issue. it was an r.t. coming to life from moscow and thirty five people have been killed in the round one hundred eighty injured after a suspected suicide bomber struck at russia's domodedovo airport the country's busiest air hop the terror attack which took place in the international arrivals area as russia's worst since twin bombings rocked moscow's metro last march around a hundred people have been taken to hospitals across the capital well we can now cross live to our correspondent lindsey france and sara furthur of following the story for us here outside moscow and first let's go to say our russian airports have
