2004 terrorist bombing
The street outside of the entrance to the Rizhskaya station was the site of a terrorist attack by Chechen separatists that occurred shortly after 8 pm on 31 August 2004, in which a bomb was detonated killing 10 people and injuring another 50,[1][2] some 30 of them seriously.[citation needed] The suicide bombing was thought initially to have been carried out by Roza Nagayeva,[2] but she in fact took part in the Beslan school siege in North Ossetia that started the next day, and was herself killed when the school was stormed several days later.[3]
