Two Suspects Confess to Belarus Subway Bombing; Blast in Minsk Killed 12, Wounded 200 on April 11

The Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty website reports today (April 13, 2011) that Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka said two suspects have confessed to staging a deadly explosion at a subway station in Minsk, Belarus.

Prosecutors announced the detention of two Belarusian men in connection with the blast in the capital of Belarus, which killed 12 people and wounded some 200 others on April 11, 2011.

One of the two men was caught on a surveillance camera leaving a bag in the October Square subway station shortly before the remote control explosion.

Lukashenka said the pair had also confessed to carrying out a previous attack at an open-air concert in Minsk in 2008, and another in a cafe in Vitebsk in 2005. Both incidents injured dozens, but caused no deaths.
