Explosion in St. Petersburg, Russia, Kills 11 as Vladimir Putin Visits

the first three paragraphs clearly described the attack in St. Petersburg. The first paragraph includes accurate time and place and the second paragraph reports the number of dead and wounded people. “It was 2:40 p.m. on Monday, a lull before the evening rush hour in Russia’s second-largest city, St. Petersburg, where the subway normally carries two million people a day. The train had just entered a tunnel between stations, on its way out of a sprawling downtown hub, when the bomb exploded.” “The homemade device, filled with shrapnel, tore through the third car. It killed 11 people; wounded more than 40, including children.” Then, the author gives a short conclusion: “the attack might have been carried out by a suicide bomber from a militant Islamic group.”

The first paragraph of this article is straightforward:“ Monday's deadly St. Petersburg metro attack was carried out by a suicide bomber originally from the central Asian Republic of Kyrgyzstan.” Because this two articles published in different times, the number of dead people raised to 14 on Tuesday CNN’s report. Reports from the New York Times and CNN have several   similarities. Both articles have statements from Russian political analysts and investigators. Both of them report this attack through pictures and short video.
