Muslim nanny beheads little Russian child, carries head into the street shouting the Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar"
Amateur video posted online shows a black-clad woman, apparently the suspect, outside a metro station shouting the Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great).
"I am a terrorist," she cries. "I am your death."
Russian journalist Polina Nikolskaya witnessed the incident. She told Reuters: "I was on my way to the metro station from home. She was standing near the metro entrance and caught my attention because she was screaming Allahu Akbar.
"I saw that she had a bloodied head in her arms but I thought it was not real. People in the crowd said it was real."
Other witnesses says the woman walked up and down outside the metro station for some 20 minutes, shouting and brandishing the head.
The phrase "Allahu Akbar" has been trending on Russian social media, in a country with a recent history of violent Islamist militancy.
