Putin decries 'terrorist attack'

<http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/12/05/russia.train.blast/index.html>

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has decried a deadly bombing on a commuter train as a terrorist attack aimed at interfering with Sunday's national elections.

Russia's emergency ministry said 41 people were killed in Friday's attack and more than 150 people were wounded, including 20 critically.

"The crime today is without doubt an attempt to destabilize the situation on the eve of parliamentary elections," Putin said on national television.
