Russian nationalists suspected of train bombing

Radical Russian nationalists are the most likely culprits in a bombing which derailed a Moscow-to-St Petersburg train, Interfax news agency reported yesterday.

A spokesman for the Prosecutor-General's office later said, however, investigators were not ruling out any possible explanations.

A bomb planted on the tracks exploded on Monday night just as the train passed over it on one of Russia's busiest routes. Carriages were tipped on their sides and dozens were wounded, but no one killed.
