Number of missing in Russian train derailment down to 2

Topic: Nevsky Express train derailment

16:54 30/11/2009

Two missing people in the recent train derailment that left 26 people dead were located on Monday, with the whereabouts of two more people yet to be established, a Russian emergencies spokeswoman said.

"Two people have been located, two remain unaccounted for," she said.

Three cars of high-speed train Nevsky Express from Moscow to St. Petersburg derailed Friday evening after an explosive device equivalent to 7 kg (15 lbs) of TNT detonated on the railroad tracks. A criminal case was launched on charges of terrorism.

Law enforcers have already compiled two identikit images of suspects in the terrorist attack, based on descriptions from eyewitnesses in nearby settlements.

According to the latest information, 26 people were killed and more that 90 injured. One body has yet to be identified.

A special plane took 14 bodies to St. Petersburg's Pulkovo airport, the Russian Interior Ministry said on its website.

The railway's administration said the luggage from the three derailed coaches had already been taken to St. Petersburg, though a luggage room worker said they had received only 20 bags from the third coach.
