Heads of Russia's Main Religious Faiths Condemn Two Moscow Subways Blasts That Killed 39

The heads of Russia's main religious faiths condemned the two Moscow subway blasts that killed at least 39 people yesterday (March 29, 2010) and injured dozens, according to the RIA Novosti (Russian) website.

Russia's chief rabbi, Berl Lazar, said he was sure the masterminds of the terrorist attack would get the punishment they deserved.

Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, who heads the Russian Orthodox Church, called for solidarity in the face of the tragedy and condemned the terrorists.

Federal Security Service Director Alexander Bortnikov said terrorists from Russia's volatile North Caucasus may have been responsible for the blasts. He added that the bodies of "two female suicide bombers who were residing in the North Caucasus had been found at the explosion sites."
