Another jerk who didn’t have anything better to do.
Russia’s Federal Security Bureau had known about a suicide bomber in the city, but their information was incomplete, Rosbalt news agency says. Early on Monday they reportedly searched for the possible bomber, but in Zelenograd, a town in the north of Moscow. The FSB received intelligence late on Sunday, and a large group of police and special forces were moved to Zelenograd for a special operation, but with no result.

Also caught a blurb at the same time this story broke that a flight from the ME to London was escorted to an alternate airport by English fighter jets. As the Moscow story developed- that one fell by the way side. Strange I thought that I heard about both things within five minutes of each other.
No way can the two things be related. I am sure the PTB would have told us. Right? Right?

Yeah, how could they possibly be related PMM? They never said what the freak was yelling, but it getting creepier by the minute.

Surprise!

Initial reports I heard were that the explosives were/might be in luggage- that a large amount of explosive material was used.
Not surprised at all at the “Arab” appearance.Even Russian doesn’t say Islamofascist anymore.
When will the big govts on this planet figure out the islamofascists are NOT our friends? Quit sending them aid of any kind. No money, no arms, no armies. Let them kill EACH other off and leave the rest of us- and Israel the hell alone.

I agree. Let them go to town on each other. I like that the Russians do not mince words.

“When will the big govts on this planet figure out the islamofascists are NOT our friends?”
about the same time as American citizens realize that their own “government” is in league with these same “governments”, some of whom are islamic (at least in name) and some of which are certainly not: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Dubai, Qatar, UK, Canada, Japan, Israel; and none have any interest in their citizens’ interests.

Right.
“”I’ve seen on the web that some Western media was quick to say that this might be done by a group or a batallion of the so-called suicide bombers, who are under the control of the ex-Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov, but let me emphasize once again that it’s too early to speak about who specifically was responsible for this,” Strokan said.”
–> Because not all those from Dagestan who want independence from Russia are run by Umarov, and it will be Dagestan that gets the blame, jmo. (Dagestan sitting as it does on the Caspian, see map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurgency_in_the_North_Caucasus).

“On February 10, Magomedsalam Magomedov was confirmed as Dagestan’s new president. His predecessor, Mukhu Aliev, an ethnic Avar, was not allowed to stand for the usual second term that most North Caucasian leaders serve (www.prime-tass.ru, February 10, 2010). This pointed to the fact that officials in the Kremlin were apparently unhappy with Aliev’s conduct, presumably because of his reluctance to crack down harshly on the growing insurgency. It is worthy to mention that Aliev often spoke of the unacceptability of using crude force against the insurgency and appears to have been viewed by some in the Kremlin as being stubborn and undiplomatic. By comparison, even Kabardino-Balkaria’s President, Arsen Kanokov, was able to keep his post, despite the fact that his republic suddenly became one of the hottest spots in the North Caucasus in 2010.
In 2010 both Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, and Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, paid unprecedented attention to the North Caucasus in general and Dagestan in particular. On December 1, Putin appointed himself the chairman of the government commission on development of the North Caucasus. President Medvedev met the leader of Dagestan at least on four separate occasions and chaired two government meetings on Dagestan and the North Caucasus. Prime Minister Putin chaired at least four government meetings on Dagestan and the North Caucasus and met the republican leader twice in 2010.
2010 also saw the emergence of a new family succession as Magomedsalam Magomedov was appointed head of the beleaguered republic. To observers of affairs in Dagestan the Magomedov family is a familiar one. Magomedov is an ethnic Dargin, and the son of Magomedali Magomedov, the long time Dagestani leader and master of political intrigue who headed the republic from 1994-2006, prior to Mukhu Aliev. By comparison to Aliev, the new government of Magomedsalam Magomedov has taken a much more proactive approach to fighting the Dagestani insurgency or, alternatively, yielded to pressure from Moscow to deploy more forces and act more vigorously against the insurgents than his predecessor.”

Lots of shrapnel, so I won’t be surprised if that is the true toll.
