New York, Mar 29 2010 1:10PM Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned this morning’s twin suicide bombings in the Moscow subway system that have killed dozens of people and injured scores more.

Media reports say at least 38 people died as a result of the bombings, which occurred at separate metro stations within 40 minutes of each other during the morning rush hour.

“The Secretary-General is confident that the Russian authorities will bring to justice the perpetrators of this heinous terrorist attack,” his spokesperson said in a statement.

Mr. Ban “extends his deepest condolences to the families of the victims, and to the Government and people of the Russian Federation. He also wishes the many injured a swift recovery.”
