A Moscow court has sentenced three men to life imprisonment for bomb
attacks on the city’s underground railway in February and August 2004.

The attacks killed 50 people and injured more than 300.

Maksim Panaryin, Tambiy Khubiyev and Murat Shavayev were found guilty
of committing acts of terrorism, reports the BBC.

The first bombing took place between Moscow’s Avtozavodskaya and
Paveletskaya stations. The second blast was outside Rizhskaya station.

Shavayev was formerly a Russian justice ministry official.

Prosecutors charged that Khubiyev and Shavayev brought detonators and
explosives to Moscow from the North Caucasus and Khubiyev assembled
one of the bombs, Itar-Tass news agency reported.

The Moscow court found Khubiyev and Panaryin guilty of belonging to a
militant group called Karachai jamaat.
