Moscow's blast in pictures

 Security officials say the huge blast in Moscow that destroyed an apartment block was caused by a 200kg bomb.
Most people in the nine-storey apartment would have been asleep at the time of the explosion.
More than 150 people were hurt and many were killed in the blast.
Efforts continue but there is thought to be little hope of finding more survivors.
Search teams carry out body bags.
Between the ground and the third floors, 108 apartments were destroyed.
More than 200 people lived in the building in the south-east of the city.
This is the third bomb attack in Russia in the past 10 days.
