MOSCOW (AP) -- A bomb blast tore through a Moscow market Monday morning, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens, officials said.

Deputy Mayor Vladimir Resin said a homemade bomb detonated in a two-story trading arcade at Cherkizovsky market in the northeastern part of the city about 10:30 a.m. City prosecutor Yuri Syomin told reporters at the scene that 41 people had been hospitalized.

The Interfax news agency reported that two suspects had been detained. It cited unidentified investigators as saying both had been seen leaving a bag near one of the market's pavilions shortly before the explosion.

Syomin said the bombing was likely connected with organized crime or a dispute between businessmen, but investigators were not ruling out terrorism.

A 2,150-square-foot section of the market collapsed in the blast, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Yulia Stadnikova said. At least two of those killed were children, she said.

The Russian general prosecutor's office said it had opened a murder investigation. Terrorism is a separate offense under Russian law.

The market is one of several sprawling complexes on the outskirts of the city with hundreds of food, clothing and hardware stands.
