Russian investigators name terrorist group behind St. Petersburg metro attack

Jamaat al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia, has been found to be behind the last year’s terror attack on St. Petersburg’s metro, an investigator told a Moscow City Court hearing on this case on Tuesday.

“It has been established that the Jamaat al-Tawhid wal-Jihad organization, which is banned in Russia, was involved in the terror attack on St. Petersburg’s metro. Suspects have been charged with participation in a terrorist organization (part 2, Article 205.4 of the Russian Criminal Code),” he said.
