Reuters ahead with news of suicide bomb attacks in Moscow

Reuters was ahead of all international media on March 29 with news of suicide bomb attacks on Moscow’s metro that killed 39 people. Reuters was 3 minutes ahead of Bloomberg and five minutes ahead of Dow Jones with the news. The attack, the worst on Russia’s capital since 2004, was claimed by Islamist insurgents fighting for an independent North Caucasus. The rouble initially fell sharply on the bombings, hitting its lowest level since March 10.
