Russian President Vladimir Putin has given several ministers purged from his Cabinet new positions in his administration.

PRIME Minister Vladimir Putin vowed revenge yesterday for a suicide bombing that killed at least 35 people at Russia’s busiest airport and underscored the Kremlin’s failure to stem a rising tide of attacks.

Russian authorities launched a probe into a possible terror attack today after an express train carrying hundreds of passengers from Moscow to St Petersburg derailed, killing at least 39 people and injuring scores of others.
