At least 15 killed in rock festival blasts

At least 15 people were killed today when explosions that police blamed initially on terrorists roared through the area around a rock festival on Moscow’s outskirts, news reports said.

The Interfax and ITAR-Tass news agencies both cited unnamed law-enforcement sources as saying the first blast took place after guards stopped a woman at the entrance to the festival and she detonated an explosives-packed belt.
