"Double suicide bombings kill 37 on Moscow subway" by David Nowak, Associated Press Writer | March 29, 2010
MOSCOW --Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up Monday in twin attacks on Moscow subway stations jam-packed with rush-hour passengers, killing at least 37 people and wounding 65, officials said. They blamed the carnage on rebels from the Caucasus region.
Shades of Britain and Spain.
The blasts come six years after Caucasus Islamic separatists carried out a pair of deadly Moscow subway strikes and raise concerns that the war has once again come to Russia's capital, amid militants' warnings of a renewed determination to push their fight.
Chechen rebels claimed responsibility for a deadly bombing late last year on a passenger train en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Last month, Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov warned in an interview on a rebel-affiliated Web site that "the zone of military operations will be extended to the territory of Russia ... the war is coming to their cities."
****************
Russian police have killed several Islamic militant leaders in the North Caucasus recently, including one last week in the Kabardino-Balkariya region. The killing of Anzor Astemirov was mourned by contributors to two al-Qaida-affiliated Web sites.

"Caucasus group blamed in Russia bombings; At least 38 are dead; 60 hurt; Suicide blasts hit 2 subway stations" by Philip P. Pan, Washington Post | March 30, 2010
Aaah, the Post!
MOSCOW — Russian officials said terrorists from the Caucasus region were apparently to blame for powerful explosions in two subway stations in central Moscow that killed at least 38 people and injured more than 60 others yesterday.
Investigators said the attack, carried out by two female suicide bombers during the morning rush hour, was the deadliest and most sophisticated terrorist attack in the Russian capital in six years. There was no claim of responsibility for the bombings, which followed the recent killings of several high-profile Islamic militant leaders by security forces in North Caucasus.
The blasts, which occurred about 45 minutes apart, spread panic through the city as residents were returning to work after Palm Sunday and raised fears that Islamist militants in southwestern Russia were making good on threats to stage attacks throughout the country again.
Oh, I'm sure.
The first explosion took place shortly before 8 as the doors were closing on a packed train at Lubyanka Station, located under the headquarters of the Federal Security Service, or FSB, the main successor to the Soviet-era intelligence and internal security agency known as the KGB.
The location prompted speculation that the attack was intended as a warning to the FSB, which has led the Kremlin’s efforts to suppress the separatist insurgency in Chechnya and the rest of the North Caucasus. The second, less powerful blast occurred at Park Kultury Station, four stops away on the same line, as commuters were exiting a train. Officials said evidence at the scenes indicated both bombers were women wearing belts packed with explosives as well as bolts and iron rods that acted as deadly shrapnel....
President Dmitry Medvedev ordered his government to provide full aid to the victims and their families and to tighten security at airports and railways....
Calling the attacks “a crime terrible in its consequences and disgusting in its manner,’’ Prime Minister Vladimir Putin broke off an official trip to Siberia to return to the capital and promised, “The terrorists will be destroyed.’’
President Obama said, “The American people stand united with the people of Russia in opposition to violent extremism and heinous terrorist attacks that demonstrate such disregard for human life.’’
Then have Panetta call off the CIA dogs, among other things!!!
US transit agencies, including those in New York and Washington, stepped up security as a precaution yesterday, sending more police into stations and conducting random inspections.
A two-fer cui bono.
Joe Pesaturo, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority spokesman, said there is no credible information that any US transit system is under threat. “We have a number of security initiatives currently in place that are designed to deter and/or prevent an attack on our system, such as random baggage inspections and high-visibility antiterrorism teams,’’ he added.
Yeah, the jig is up.
There was no claim of responsibility for the bombings, but Alexander Bortnikov, director of the FSB, said the attacks appeared to have been committed by “terrorist groups linked to the North Caucasus region.’’
In an Internet video posted in February....
Click the x, readers.
Alexander Torshin, deputy speaker of the Federation Council, the upper house of Parliament, told reporters that the bombings might have been planned in retaliation for recent raids by security forces in the North Caucasus, a mountainous, multiethnic region that includes Chechnya and neighboring Ingushetia and Dagestan.
Go check out a map, 'murkns, and see where those are.
Am I right or am I right?
After one clash in early March, security officials said they had succeeded in killing Alexander Tikhomirov, a charismatic young preacher also known as Sayid Buryatsky, who had emerged as a major figure in the insurgency.
Weeks later, authorities reported killing another rebel leader, Anzor Astemirov, who is believed to have made the original proposal to establish a fundamentalist Caucasus Emirate in the region.
Umarov declared jihad and embraced that cause in 2007, alienating some Chechen nationalists seeking independence but drawing fresh support from Muslim fighters outside Chechnya who were angered by the tactics of Russian security forces.
Moscow’s subway system was last targeted by the rebels in August 2004, when a female suicide bomber killed 10 people.
The global threat Al Qaeda having to really on.... female suiciders as their BIG GUNS?

"Chechen militant claims Moscow subway blasts" by Arsen Mollayev and Vladimir Isachenkov, Associated Press Writers | March 31, 2010
MAKHACHKALA, Russia --A Chechen militant claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks on the Moscow subway in an Internet message posted Wednesday, hours after two more suicide bombers struck southern Russia in brazen defiance of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Doku Umarov, who leads Islamic militants in Chechnya and other regions in Russia's North Caucasus, said in a video posted on a pro-rebel Web site that Monday's twin suicide attacks were revenge for the killing of civilians by Russian security forces....
Wednesday's suicide bombings killed 12 people in Dagestan, a volatile southern province east of Chechnya. Putin said they could have been planned by the same group behind the Moscow bombings....
The suicide bombings in Moscow were the first in the capital in six years and served as a wake-up call for many Russians, who had come to feel insulated from the violence raging in the country's predominantly Muslim southern corner.
CIA calling!
So when is your next call, America?
VERY SOON, NO?
That WAR WITH IRAN needs to GET UNDERWAY!
Umarov blamed ordinary Russians for turning a blind eye to the killing of civilians in the Caucasus by security forces and warned of more attacks. "I promise you that the war will come to your streets and you will feel it in your lives, feel it on your own skin," Umarov, dressed in fatigues, said in a video posted on kavkazcenter.com, a Web site that rebels use to air their statements. There was no way to substantiate Umarov's claim, and officials at Russian law enforcement agencies refused to comment. Umarov had previously warned that "if Russians think that the war is happening only on television, somewhere far away in the Caucasus where it can't reach them, then we are going to show them that this war will return to their homes."
The 45-year-old Umarov fought Russian forces in both separatist wars in Chechnya over the last 15 years. He took over the leadership of the rebel movement in 2006 following the killing by Russian forces of Abdul-Khalim Sadulayev. Umarov's importance further increased that year after Shamil Basayev, the most feared of the rebels, was killed by security forces. Basayev was accused of -- or claimed responsibility for -- terrorist attacks on Russia during its wars in Chechnya, including the hostage-taking raid on a school in the town of Beslan in 2004.

What murk.
Moscow police have been on high alert since the subway attacks, increasing roadblocks on highways into the city. The police chief said thousands of officers have been sent to patrol the subway, check on migrants from southern provinces and inspect warehouses that could hold arms caches. The militants face logistical challenges in carrying out bombings in Russia's northern cities, since they would need to transport explosives from southern bases and then store them.
Not that difficult with the help of a certain worldwide intelligence agency from a certain superpower.
Natives of the North Caucasus, who tend to have darker hair and complexions, stand out in cities like Moscow and are more likely to draw police attention.
In Wednesday's violence, a suicide bomber in a car detonated explosives when police tried to stop it in the town of Kizlyar near Dagestan's border with Chechnya, Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev said.... As investigators and residents gathered, a second bomber wearing a police uniform approached and set off explosives, killing Kizlyar's police chief among others, Nurgaliyev said.
In addition to the dead, at least 23 people were wounded, authorities said. Windows were blown out and bricks tumbled down at a school and a police station nearby.
Grainy cell phone video posted on the life.ru news portal showed the moment of the second blast, with officials wandering past a destroyed building before a loud clap rang out and smoke rose in the distance. Television footage showed a few gutted cars, damaged buildings and a six-foot-deep (two-meter-deep) crater in the road. The North Caucasus have been destabilized by near-daily bombings and other raids by Islamic militants.
First I've read of that!!
"Covert action programs, a particularly secret category in which the role of the United States is hidden"
And the AmeriKan MSM does its job well.
Police and security services are a frequent target because they represent the Kremlin -- the militants' ideological enemy -- but also because of their heavy-handed tactics. Police have been accused of involvement in many killings, kidnappings and beatings in the North Caucasus, angering residents and swelling the ranks of Islamic militants.
Like our torture policies have done in AmeriKa, great!
Police recently killed several high-profile militant leaders, including one known for training suicide bombers. A report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies said 916 people died in the North Caucasus in 2009 in violence related to the clashes, up from 586 in 2008....

"Putin talks tough after bombings; Vows plotters will be brought into daylight" by Lynn Berry, Associated Press | March 31, 2010
MOSCOW — Confronting a terrorist attack in Moscow, Vladimir Putin used the same kind of coarse and colorful language that helped him win the presidency a decade ago.
As if.... what are they trying to say?
A day after twin suicide bombings in the subway that killed 39 people, the powerful prime minister told Russians that he is certain the masterminds of the attacks would be found. The security services have blamed extremists from the North Caucasus, a predominantly Muslim region in southern Russia that includes Chechnya.
“We know they are lying low, but it is already a matter of pride for the law enforcement agencies to drag them out of the sewer and into broad daylight,’’ Putin said, directing a transportation security meeting that was shown on Russian television yesterday.
Putin’s choice of language recalled his famous threat to “wipe out the Chechen rebels in the outhouse’’ after they were blamed for a series of apartment building bombings that terrorized Moscow in 1999. Putin, as prime minister at the time, sent in the military to force the region’s submission and was elected president the following year. Now in his second stint as prime minister after serving two full terms as president, Putin has found a reason to revert to the tough line that shored up his authority after past terrorist attacks.
As if it were SOME SORT of RUSSIAN FALSE FLAG?
While welcomed by many Russians, it also is raising fears that civil liberties may be further sacrificed under the pretext of fighting terrorism.
Oh, that is really rich for our papers to hurl that one at Russia!!
Capitalizing on the outrage, members of the Parliament proposed bringing back the death penalty for terrorism. Russia has imposed a moratorium on capital punishment, but has been reluctant to outlaw it because of broad public support for the death penalty.
Didn't I note that above?
Monday’s subway bombings, carried out by two women, are the first terrorist attacks in Moscow in six years. They have shaken a city that has been insulated from the violence still raging in the restive southern corner of the country. Russia observed a day of mourning yesterday, with flags at half-staff at the Kremlin and across the vast country.
Relatives identified the dead at a Moscow morgue, and tearful commuters placed candles at makeshift memorials heaped with carnations inside the two stricken subway stations in the city center.,Heightened transportation security remained in effect across the capital and elsewhere. Police with machine guns and dogs patrolled subway entrances. The attacks signaled to Russians that they are no safer than they were before Putin came to power.
I smell agenda all over this.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but many speculated that they were retaliation for the recent killings of Islamic militant leaders in the North Caucasus, including one known for training suicide bombers.
Many opposition leaders and rights activists said they feared the subway bombings would be a convenient excuse for the government to put increased pressure on the opposition, perhaps by cracking down even harder on street protests.
I really can't take this garbage anymore, readers.
“Our government loves to use such events to act as they want,’’ Lyudmila Alexeyeva, a veteran human rights activist, wrote in her blog.
Yeah, TELL ME ABOUT IT!!
“So this is an excellent opportunity to further limit our constitutional freedoms, pretending they care about our security.’’
I know how you feel.
But the attacks have also given new impetus to President Dmitry Medvedev’s efforts to address the root causes of the terrorism in the Caucasus, where deep poverty, rampant corruption and heavy-handed tactics by security forces have provided fertile ground for Islamic militants....

"Chechen claims responsibility for Russia blasts; New attacks kill 12 people in the south" by Philip P. Pan, Washington Post | April 1, 2010
Yup, WaPo for the webbers.
MOSCOW — An Islamist rebel leader claimed responsibility yesterday for the suicide bombings on the Moscow subway system that killed 39 people two days ago, and threatened more attacks to avenge what he called atrocities ordered by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Russia’s volatile southwest.
The video statement by the Chechen militant, Doku Umarov, was posted on the Internet hours after another double bombing killed at least 12 people in Dagestan, located east of Chechnya in the North Caucasus region where the Kremlin has been battling a separatist insurgency....
Umarov, dressed in fatigues and sitting in what appeared to be a forest clearing, said he ordered the subway attack in retaliation for an antiterror raid by Russian security forces in February in which at least 20 people were killed, asserting that officers used knives to finish off innocent residents of an impoverished village. He said he could only grin when accused of terrorism because he has not heard people condemn Putin for such crimes, and he pledged new attacks on Russians “who send their gangs to the Caucasus and support their security services that carry out massacres.’’
There was no immediate government response. But Chechnya’s representative in the Kremlin-controlled parliament dismissed the threat. “It doesn’t matter that he has claimed responsibility for those bestial murders,’’ Ziyad Sabsabi told the Interfax news agency. “In any case, his days are numbered.’’
***************
The militants have stepped up attacks over the past year in the North Caucasus, where bombings and shoot-outs with the authorities occur almost daily.
And yet we have seen or read so little of it over here until now.
But the timing of Wednesday’s double bombing in Dagestan so soon after two female bombers struck the Moscow subway system raised fears of a fresh wave of terrorism across the country....
In televised remarks, Putin said “We see this as a crime against Russia.’’
The bombing was the first in Moscow in nearly six years and raised questions about Putin’s record of maintaining peace in the capital, and his brute-force approach to suppressing the militants.
Hey, it works for Amerika and Israel!
Gulnara Rustamova, head of the Mothers of Dagestan for Human Rights, an advocacy group, said she believed the attacks were organized by outsiders “who want to destabilize the situation in the North Caucasus.’’
You see?
EVERYBODY KNOWS!!!!

"Russia vows harsher tactics to curb terrorism" by Associated Press | April 2, 2010
MAKHACHKALA, Russia — President Dmitry Medvedev made a surprise visit yesterday to the violence-racked southern province of Dagestan, telling police and security forces to use tougher, “more cruel’’ measures to fight the “scum’’ responsible for terrorist attacks.
Russia’s security chief said some terror suspects had been detained. Twin suicide bombings in Moscow, which Islamic militants from the North Caucasus claim to have carried out, have refocused attention on the violence that for years has been confined to Russia’s predominantly Muslim regions. The rush-hour attacks Monday on the Moscow subway killed 39 people and left nearly 90 hospitalized.
On Wednesday, two suicide bombings in Dagestan killed 12 people, including nine policemen, a frequent target of attacks in part because they represent Russian authority. Another explosion yesterday killed two suspected militants and wounded a third in Dagestan near the border with Chechnya.
Yesterday, Medvedev copied the style of Russia’s powerful prime minister, Vladimir Putin, in ordering that much more be done to stop the attacks. “The measures to fight terrorism should be expanded, they should be more effective, more harsh, more cruel, if you please,’’ he told federal and local officials.
Meaning more killing and torture?
That's no answer.

"Moscow bomber was insurgent’s widow" by Washington Post | April 3, 2010
MOSCOW — Russian authorities said yesterday that one of the two suicide bombers who struck the Moscow subway system this week was the 17-year-old widow of an Islamist rebel leader, and officials circulated photos of the teenager brandishing a handgun and a grenade.
Citing genetic evidence, law enforcement agencies said the young woman, Dzhanet Abdullayeva’s hometown, Khasavyurt, was the scene of a New Year’s Eve shoot-out between insurgents and security forces that killed her husband, Umulat Magomedov, 30, a leader in the insurgency, which seeks to set up an Islamist emirate in the region.
The Russian daily Kommersant published a photo of the couple, his arm draped around her and holding a large military pistol across her chest. Abdullayeva’s face is framed by a black head scarf and she points a handgun in the air.
Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova, shown with her husband, Umalat Magomedov, was one of the bombers, a Russian paper said. (Associated Press/Newsteam)

That has to get a second day of coverage!
MOSCOW — The two mysterious young widows who brought terrorism to Moscow by targeting its famed subway system might have been motivated by forest killings in which garlic-picking villagers were slain by government forces.
Both suicide bombers — one 17, another reportedly 20 — were from Russia’s predominantly Muslim North Caucasus region, home to a fierce Islamic insurgency that has been fueled by frequent killings, kidnappings, and torture of residents by government forces. Monday’s subway bombings, which killed 40 people and injured 90, were the first terrorist attacks in the Russian capital since 2004. Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov claimed responsibility, saying the attacks were retaliation for the Feb. 11 killing of innocent civilians by government forces in the North Caucasus.
Then, four garlic pickers died along with 18 suspected Islamic militants in a three-day shootout in the mountainous forests that straddle two other North Caucasus provinces, Ingushetia and Chechnya. Yesterday, the Memorial rights group said the four were villagers caught in the crossfire and then dragged away and executed while gathering the wild shoots to sell at local markets....
Dagestan in particular has been the epicenter of a week of violence. Yesterday, three militants there opened fire on police in a drive-by shooting, killing one officer and injuring another. Two other suicide bombers struck Wednesday near Dagestan’s border with Chechnya, killing 12 people. Another explosion there Thursday killed two suspected militants.
Dagestan’s Interior Ministry spokesman, Vyacheslav Gadzhiyev, said yesterday’s shooting occurred near the village of Chontaul, 40 miles northwest of the provincial capital of Makhachkala. Russian officials were still trying yesterday to learn more about the Moscow suicide bombers. On Friday, a leading Russian newspaper published a photo showing a doe-eyed teenager, partly veiled, in the embrace of a bearded man — both grasping handguns.
When was the last time you saw the AmeriKan newspaper get teary-eyed over a "terrorist," huh?
Federal investigators confirmed that a 17-year-old widow from Dagestan named Dzhanet Abdurakhmanova attacked the Park Kultury subway station near Moscow’s famous Gorky Park.
