Volgograd had to experience two explosions in less than 24 hours. As many as 14 people were killed in the second explosion, and the death toll may continue to rise. The explosive device blew up in a trolleybus. It was originally reported that the bomb had been placed in the trolleybus and then detonated remotely. Investigators tend to believe that it was a male suicide bomber, who exploded the trolleybus.
This is the second explosion in Volgograd from last night. The first one occurred on December 29th at the railway station. The number of victims of the attack has risen to 16 people.
Local residents stopped using public transport and walk instead. Shopping centers in the city began to close after the second explosion.
The city declared three days of mourning, all mass entertainment events timed to celebrate New Year holidays have been canceled.
Islamists served their gore as New year greetings to Russia.
In a second attack on what seems serial bombing at Volgogard.
2014 is all set to see an escalation of the Global Jihad movement.
Bodies were strewn all over the grisly scene.
Violence as a way of life seems to be normative even between Islamist groups as seen at Lebanon recently.
Such attacks would surely lead to world opinion swinging in favor of Re-evaluation of Islamic dogmas since the connection between this behavior and the Islamic scriptural verses are getting harder to deflect and deny.
