By Albina Kovalyova and Daniel Arkin, NBC News
MOSCOW - At least 14 people were killed and 28 wounded when an explosion ripped through a trolley bus in the
Russian city of Volgograd on Monday, the country's third deadly attack in four days.
The explosion, which tore out much of the electric vehicle's exterior and left mangled bodies on the street, raised fears about more violence in the lead-up to the Sochi Winter Olympics that Russia will host in six weeks.
"For the second day, we are dying - it's a nightmare," a woman near the scene told Reuters, her voice trembling. "What are we supposed to do, just walk now?
Volgograd, a city of around one million about 400 miles northeast of Sochi, is a key transport hub for southern Russia, with many bus routes linking it to the volatile provinces in the North Caucasus.
