Putin: Retribution 'inevitable' for airport attack
 In addition, it's unclear what levers Putin could push now if he aims to exact retribution. After the Beslan school hostage crisis in 2004 that killed more than 330 people, half of them children, Putin pushed through changes to make regional governors appointed rather than elected. Still, further attempts at consolidating Russian government control could provoke a backlash from an opposition movement that has grown in recent months.I'm sure it will be interesting. And I hope we can help. And speaking of consolidating power, maybe the T&A can put scanners out in the parking lot of airports, too. Posted by: gorb 2011-01-25 |
