MOSCOW, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- A bomb exploded on railway tracks in northern Russia Tuesday, injuring a train driver, with local media reporting it as suspected terrorism.
The blast, equivalent to 200 to 400 grams of TNT, hit an inspection locomotive on the outskirts of the northwestern city of St. Petersburg, damaging a meter of the track.
The regional transport prosecutors' office blamed terrorists for the explosion.
"We are considering this as an act of terrorism. This is the main theory," Anatoly Kvashnin, head of the office, was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
Last November, a bomb attack derailed a Russian express train en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg, killing 27 people.
