The 2011 Minsk Metro bombing occurred on 11 April 2011 when at least 14 people were killed and more than two hundred were injured in an explosion on the Minsk Metro, Belarus.[5] The explosion happened at the central Oktyabrskaya station at 17:55 local time.[6]

Initially the cause of the explosion was unclear, but was found to have been a bomb containing nails and ball bearings.[7] President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko asserted that the explosion was aimed at undermining "peace and stability" and hinted at possible foreign involvement but also ordered an emergency investigation of domestic weapon storage facilities.[8] The Prosecution Office launched a criminal investigation and classified the event as a terrorist attack.[9][10][11]

Two suspects arrested on 13 April[12] have confessed to the bombing according to Lukashenko, but are as yet unidentified by the authorities. According to him they also pleaded guilty to Vitebsk cafe and Victory day bombings but the motives remain unclear.[13] According to the investigation, the bomb was unique and the foreign investigators also expressed great interest in it.[14]

Background

The explosion in the Minsk metro led to the system's largest loss of life since 53 people were crushed to death at Nemiga in 1999. Previous bombings in the recent history of Belarus did not result in any fatalities. In September 2005, two bombings occurred in the northeastern city of Vitebsk.[15] The former was blamed on criminal gangs, and the latter, in which 46 people were injured, was blamed on hooliganism.[15]

During the Belarus Independence Day celebrations on 4 July 2008, fifty people were injured when a bomb exploded at a concert in Minsk.[16] Like the bombing at the Vitebsk cafe in 2005, the concert bombing in Minsk was blamed on hooliganism, and President Lukashenko stated that he didn't believe he was the target.[16]

The explosion happened at about 18:00[4] during rush hour at Oktyabrskaya station, which provides the sole interchange between the two lines of the Minsk metro. Like nearly every station in Minsk, Oktyabrskaya has an island platform, and during the explosion, trains were located on both tracks.[17] According to the initial investigation, the bomb was located under a bench next to the inbound (Institut Kultury-bound) tracks.[18] The bomb exploded next to the second car of an inbound train.[18] At the moment of the explosion, there were 300 people in the area and an outbound (Uruchye-bound) train passed through the station without stopping.[18] According to witnesses, there was "a flash and a bang" as passengers exited a train which had arrived at the station.[8] The bomb was reported to have been packed with nails and ball-bearings equivalent to 5 kg of TNT.[7] It was said to be under a bench on the platform and could have been detonated by remote control. Interior Minister Anatoly Kuleshov said the perpetrators sought to "kill as many people as possible."[4]

The explosion caused a hole 80 cm in diameter.[18] It was so powerful that it rocked trains at the adjacent stations Pl. Lenina and Pl. Pobedy.[19] The blast was equivalent to five to seven kilograms of TNT.[20] According to Interfax, the bomb was partially composed of fragments of metal.[21] The device was packed with ball bearings, indicating that it was a nail bomb; most of the injuries from the blast were caused by shrapnel.[22] It is believed that the explosive device was radio-controlled and that the bomb was of advanced technical quality.[23]

Victims

The wounded victims were admitted to five hospitals in Minsk.[18] Among the injured, 22 were in a serious condition,[3][18] one of them died in the hospital.[24] Another 30 suffered injuries of moderate severity.[22]

Citizenship Killed Injured
Belarus 15 195
Russia 0 5
Armenia 0 1
Turkmenistan 0 1
Ukraine 0 1
Total 15 203

Families of those killed in the blast will receive aid amounting to the equivalent of US$10,000. In addition to monetary compensation, families will work with social worker and psychologists.[25]

A national day of mourning was declared for 13 April 2011.[26] Black ribbons were attached to flags, and all entertainment events cancelled.

Infrastructure

Like all metros built during the Soviet period, the Minsk Metro contains many artistic elements such as stylised lighting and decorative ceilings. In his speech following the explosion, the president suggested that the design of Oktyabrskaya station may have worsened the injuries.[27] "The metro should be decorated in a way so that nothing will fall onto people's heads," Lukashenko said. "Not only from a blast. People also received injuries from that which fell from the ceiling."[27]

Following the attacks, Interior Ministry began installing metal detectors to all stations.[28]

Investigation

President Lukashenko ordered a thorough investigation into the explosion.[27] "There should be results every day. Work day and night," Lukashenko told the Belarus security apparatus.[27] He urged Belarusian security officials to get in touch with Russian security to aid in the investigation due to their experience with terrorist attacks in Moscow Metro.[27]

The president said "We have been thrown a serious challenge. It requires an adequate response and it must be found. They will not let us have a peaceful life, I want to know - who". He made an appeal to the Belarusian population to assist in the apprehension of the perpetrators: "I would like to address the people honestly and openly: without you it will be difficult for us to find these monsters. You must help us."[27] He also ordered the full transparency of the investigation and the full availability of information to the citizens.[29]

The Belarus KGB announced that they would pay to anyone who has photos or videos of the attack.[30] The opposition newspaper Nasha Niva provided certain material.[31]

Three residents of Minsk were detained "for spreading provocative rumors, sowing panic". These people were alleged to be spreading false information about the new bombings on Internet forums and social networking sites.[32]

Head of the investigation group, Deputy Prosecutor General of Belarus Andrei Shved announced that several people were arrested on 12 April and the facial composite of the bomber was released.[33] The head of the Belarus KGB Vadim Zaitsev said that three versions of the causes of the terrorist attack are being investigated as a destabilisation attempt, the action of an extremist anarchist organisation and the action of an unhealthy person.[34] Following the arrests he said that the third version was now considered the correct one, that the attack was an act of an unhealthy person.[14]

Three suspects were said to have confessed to their involvement in the bombing after police had arrested local dissidents. The head of the KGB said that one of the men, who was in his mid-20s, was arrested and had confessed to being responsible for the bombing.

Lukashenko declared that they may have knowledge into who "ordered the attack."[35] He also claimed they had admitted their guilt and described the investigation by the police and the Belarus KGB as a "brilliant operation."[36] He claimed that they admitted they were also guilty for the Vitebsk cafe and Independence Day attacks.[36] He also said their motives remain unclear.[37] It was reported that psychiatrists interviewed the prime suspect and that he said that he "enjoyed the suffering of others" and did not claim any political motives. However, they considered him sane.[38]
