Terror in Russia - 15 Dead In Train Terrorist Attack

As a reminder of the threat facing Russia from rebel fighters in Chechnya, suicide bomber struck a busy railway station in the southern Russian city of Volgograd, killing at least 15 people and wounding many more - officials said.

With second attack in two month ahead of the upcoming winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, many people are worried about safety of athletes and visitors alike. No group claimed responsibility for the bombing in Volgograd, but it came months after Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov called for new attacks against civilian targets in Russia, including the Sochi Winter Games. 

Volgograd is 900 kilometers south of Moscow, Russian capital and about 650 kilometers to Sochi, venue of the upcoming Winter Olympics. Watch the chilling video after the cut.
