Police found no bomb in "Neva-Express" train
The express train St Petersburg-Moscow, named "Neva-Express", which was twice - in 2007 and 2009 - attacked by terrorists, has set off with an hourly delay because of a false report of a bomb threat.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that a telephone call about the mining of the "Neva-Express" train was received by the police on November 18. The police evacuated 613 passengers. The train was to hit the track at 3:15 p.m. Moscow time.
"No explosives were found in the 'Neva-Express' train; and on 3:49 p.m. the passengers were put back on the train," said the Oktiabr Branch of the Russian Railways.
However, several policemen and dog handlers are still on the platform of the railway station in Moscow, the "RIA Novosti" reports.
