Russia is confident that the train bombing that killed 26 people last week won't harm its bid to stage the World Cup. Russia is bidding to stage either the 2018 or 2022 World Cup. Bid committee chief executive Alexey Sorokin said Tuesday that Friday's attack on the Moscow to St. Petersburg train should not have a negative effect on the nation's chances of holding the event for the first time. Sorokin said every country has suffered from terrorist attacks and there were few exceptions among Russia's World Cup competitors, adding "we are a huge nation. We have friends, we have enemies and we are a target like everyone else."
