Neo-Nazis arrested for killing Ghanaian

Moscow - Two young neo-Nazis have been arrested on suspicion of carrying out an explosives attack on a train in St. Petersburg and possibly also the murder of a man from Ghana, Interfax reported Saturday. The agency cited unnamed Russian security sources in reporting the arrest of the two, aged 19 and 20 years, who belong to a radical right-wing group.

The neo-Nazi group had posted a message on the internet claiming responsibility for the explosives attack on a train near St. Peterburg's Baltic Railway Station on February 2 in which a train driver was seriously injured.

The same group had previously posted an internet video of the deadly attack on the man from Ghana on December 25.
