MANHATTAN — New York City police reacted with caution Monday morning after a deadly act of train terrorism in Russia.
The NYPD said it would increase security on city subways after a pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up in the Moscow subway system on Monday morning.
The two female bombers walked on to two seperate trains during rush hour and detonated themselves, killing at least 37 people and wounding 102, the Associated Press reported.
"In response to the Moscow bombings this morning, the NYPD is increasing the police coverage of the New York City subway system as a precaution," said NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg issued a statement condemning the attacks and letting New Yorkers know about the increased security in the city.
"We will learn from the terrible tragedy in Moscow, as we do from every terrorist incident around the world, and we will continue to do everything possible to protect our transit system – and our entire City – from the threat of terrorism,” the mayor said.
Moscow officials are blaming rebels from the Caucus region that includes Chechnya, according to the AP.
