25 dead, not sure how many injured. Cause is not yet known.

Do we have any Dopers there? I know a couple living there that we met in Thailand over the summer - they’re all right, the girl normally takes the subway to work but she took a cab today, thank God.

Wow. Scary. Wonder who did this- Chechen rebels, or Islamist extremists, or what?

EDIT: The AP and the BBC now say 37 injured in two blasts.

One station is right under the headquarters of the FSB (basically, Russian intelligence) near the Lubyanka.
