"Chechen Rebel Claims He Ordered Moscow Subway Attack

 

By: Jason M. Breslow

 

The leader of a Chechen militant group has claimed responsibility for this week's twin suicide blasts that killed 39 people in the Moscow subway system, and he warned Russians that more attacks are on the way.

 

In a video posted Wednesday to a pro-rebel Web site, Doku Umarov said Monday's bombing was an act of revenge for the killing of civilians by Russian security forces during an anti-terror raid near the Chechnya border in February.

 

The Moscow bombings "were carried out on my orders, and they are not the last ones, with God's will," the rebel leader said. Vowing more attacks, he added: "I promise you the war will come to your streets, and you will feel it in your own lives and your own skin."

 

The video appeared online hours after 12 people were killed when suicide bombers attacked in the republic of Dagestan, a province to the east of Chechnya in Russia's volatile North Caucasus region. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, more than 900 people were killed by violence in the region last year.

 

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has promised to "drag out of the sewer" the terrorists responsible for Monday's bombing, and on Wednesday he said he did not rule out the possibility that the Dagestan attack was carried out by "one and the same gang."

Russian Imperialism TBH - there are several other Muslim Republics in Russia and they have very little bother with them - Chechnya and Dagestan are different

 

If you don't know about the history of Russia in the Caucasus you must have had your head buried in the sand these last 20 years...................

Good from a Russian pov if it's portrayed as an Islamic rather than a nationalistic issue though.

Let's not forget they Russians did the last lot of bombings themselves.

Whats the story behind this?? does anybody know?

 

Russian authorities have identified one of the two suicide bombers who killed 39 in Moscow this week as the 17-year-old wife of an insurgent that died in December.

 

Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova was married to Umalat Magomedov, an insurgent who was killed by Russian security forces in December 2009. She is from the Dagestan region, and dressed in the traditional manner of a Muslim woman from the Caucasus Mountains.

 

Abdurakhamanova conducted the first suicide attack at the Lubyanka subway station, during the early morning rush. The second bomber has not been identified.

 

President Dmitri Medvedev came forward in a speech, calling both for harsher measures against insurgents, and understanding from the citizens of Russia.

"suicide bombers tend to be what gets produced when foreign armies kill people's loved ones."
