Fourteen Killed in Suicide Bombing in Russia

For the second time in two days a suicide bomber attacked the Russian city of Volgograd.

Monday's target was a public trolley bus.

Fourteen people were killed, dozens more were injured, and nearby buildings were damaged by the force of the blast.

Again no one claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicions have fallen on the city's Muslim population.

Officials did state that the bombs appeared to have been made by the same person, or at least in the same place.

The attacks are considered an attempt to scare people away from the Winter Olympics, which are set to take place in Sochi, in February.
