Well IF that what we think it is... THen it's just the beginning...

Give us a break with this pointless metaphors ... if you guys want to protect Sunni Muslims just make a professional force in the Arab world for this reason. But, you don't, you make small force that is currently used only for Saudi/Gulf nations and counterterrorism. If you say governments are preventing this, then go protest already. These pointless terror attacks once in awhile are not going to change reality on the ground. And these little groups will never be able to have serious influence. The people(majority) are much more powerful, especially if they decide to make professional force acting within Arab lands.

Looks like it to me. Passenger compartments blown outward, explosions in close proximity and a busy line.
By the way a device has now been found.

St Petersburg: Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday the government was considering all possible causes for the blasts in St Petersburg's metro system, including terrorism.

"The causes are not clear, it`s too early. We will look at all possible causes, terrorism as well as common crime," he added.

Ten people were killed in an explosion at a metro station in St. Petersburg on Monday, the authorities said.

The blast happened in a train in between two stations, a source in Russia's emergency services said.

“There was one blast in one site in between [stations] as the train arrived at the Technology Institute station from the Sennaya [loshchad] station,” the source told Reuters.

A witness saw eight ambulances near the Sennaya Ploshchad station.

Interfax news agency quoted an unnamed source as saying one of the blasts was caused by a bomb filled with shrapnel.

President Vladimir Putin, who was in St. Petersburg for a meeting with Belarussian leader Alexander Lukashenko, said the cause of the blasts was not yet clear and efforts were on to find it out. He said he was considering all possibilities, including terrorism.

Video showed injured people lying bleeding on a platform, some being treated by emergency services. Others ran away from the platform amid clouds of smoke.

A huge hole was blasted in the side of one carriage with mangled metal wreckage strewn around the platform. Passengers were seen hammering at the windows of one closed carriage.

The authorities closed all metro stations in the city.

The Moscow metro said it was taking unspecified additional security measures in case of an attack there.

Russia has been the target of attacks by Chechen militants in past years. Chechen rebel leaders have frequently threatened further attacks.

Thirty-eight people were killed in 2010 when two female suicide bombers detonated bombs on packed Moscow metro trains.

Over 330 people, half of them children, were killed in 2004 when police stormed a school in southern Russia after a hostage-taking by islamist militants.

In 2002, 120 hostages were killed when police stormed a Moscow theatre to end another hostage taking.

Mr. Putin, as Prime Minister, launched a 1999 campaign to crush a separatist government in the Muslim southern region of Chechnya, and as President continued a hardline in suppressing rebellion.

The explosion happened between Sennaya Ploshchad and Tekhnologichesky Institut stations.

The unidentified explosive device went off at 2:20 p.m. on a train that was leaving the Technology Institute station and heading to the Sennaya Square station, Russia's National Anti-Terrorist Committee said.

The Moscow metro said it was taking unspecified additional security measures in case of an attack there. President Vladmir Putin offered his condolences to the families of those killed.
