Moscow:

"Russian television showed grainy footage of rescue workers working under flood lights near debris on the side of the train tracks.

'There are 25 dead and 87 injured,' Emergencies Minister Sergei Shoigu told a heated video conference during which he barked out orders to local rescuers in the early hours of Saturday morning.

He said the fate of 41 other people was still unclear.

A spokesman for Russia's main domestic intelligence service, the FSB, declined to comment on whether an attack was suspected…."

Elsewhere:

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) (Russian: ФСБ, Федеральная служба безопасности Российской Федерации; Federal'naya sluzhba bezopasnosti Rossiyskoy Federatsii) is the main domestic security service of the Russian Federation and the main successor agency of the Soviet-era Cheka, NKVD and KGB." –Wikipedia
