US President Barack Obama condemned Friday's suicide attacks on Moscow's subway system and expressed solidarity with the Russian people, DPA reported.

"The American people stand united with the people of Russia in opposition to violent extremism and heinous terrorist attacks that demonstrate such disregard for human life," Obama said.
