Two young Neo-Nazi males have been arrested on suspicion of being responsible for the February 2nd bomb attacks on a train in St Petersburg.

Russian security services have released the news that two males ages 19 and 20 who belong to a radical right wing group have been arrested for their part in the explosion. Investigations led intelligence to the group who posted messages on the internet claiming responsibility. The explosion occured just as the train was leaving the Baltic Railway Station in St Petersburg. The train driver was seriously injured but fortunately no-one was killed.

It is also believed that the same group – and possibly the same two men – are responsible for the murder of a Ghanian man on 25th December 2009. Racism has become an escalating problem in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union and has recently culminated in the cold blodded killing of this 25yr old man in St Petersburg where the perpetrators inflicted over 20 knife wounds to his head, neck, chest, kidneys, stomach and limbs.
