  • The 2003 Moscow bombings were a series of coordinated attacks upon the Soviet Union, targeting both civilians and national symbols. The explosions took place on November 9, 2003, in the Soviet capital of Moscow. The majority of the attacks hit the Moscow Metro, while an attempted attack on Red Square was thwarted. In total, over 750 people lost their lives, and well over 5,000 others injured. It would later be confirmed that the attacks were carried out by a homegrown Islamic Terrorist group lead by Movsar Barayev, whose associates would later reveal that they had strong backing and training from Al-Qaeda in Somalia (which has been the suspected location of Al-Qaeda leaders since the fall of Sudan), leading to the Soviet invasion of Somalia the following year.
