Hi all...

Not long after the attack in London, I now read of the train bombing in St. Petersburg...

I don't know if we have any active Russian members but as in my previous thread concerning London, I wish to offer my condolences and prayers to the Russian people (and any Russian LQ members,) as well.

Regards...

Lionel Nation - Any Conspiracy Theory About the St. Petersburg Metro Blast Is OK So Long As It’s About Russia

[RT] If anyone speculated about a 'false flag' operation in the West they would be denigrated as ‘crazy conspiracy theorists,’ experts say commenting on the media coverage of the St Petersburg bombing. However, if it’s about Russia – anything goes, they add.

The death toll from the explosion in a metro carriage on Monday in the Russian city of St. Petersburg has reached 14 people, 49 others are still in hospital, according to Russia's Public Health Minister.
Three days of mourning have been declared in the city. World leaders voiced their solidarity with Russia and offered condolences to the victims' families. However, some Western mainstream media seem to be more interested in trying to take advantage of the attack for political motives.

The terrorist attack on the St. Petersburg Metro claimed 11 lives and injured many more. But the US media has been mostly silent on the day’s tragic top story. The usual outpouring of sympathy brought on by such attacks when they occur in Paris, Brussels, and other Western cities is also lacking. Legal and media analyst Lionel of Lionel Media joins RT America’s Manila Chan to discuss why.
