Russia suicide bomb attack: Six police officers are injured near Russian FSB headquarters
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A jacket wallah 'screaming Allahu Akbar' went kaboom!and injured six people today in an attack in southern Russia near FSB headquarters, reports said on Friday. The country's National Anti-Terrorism Committee said an unidentified person tried to break into an area where police were conducting searches. The person then triggered the bomb when officers tried to arrest him, the committee said, adding that 'six officers were lightly injured' in the blast. The unidentified man carrying explosives also died at the scene. The explosion was close to the FSB counterintelligence service's office in Uchkeken village ...which has actually appeared in our archives before, suggesting it is a veritable hive of scum and villainy, Muslim style. Fred’s notes from 2002: in the volatile mainly-Moslem region of Karachay-Cherkessia. Karachaevo-Cherkessia is another flyspeck-sized "autonomous republic" within Russia, neighboring Georgia and not too far from Chechnya and Dagestan. The Cherkess are the smallest ethnic group in the republic, making up 11 percent of the population. The Karachays make up 30 percent and the Russians 40 percent. The Cherkess are first cousins to the Circassians; the Karachays are Turkic. The Karachay Muslims have (surprise!) united in the "Hizbu-At-Tawhid", and a Radio Kavkaz (Radio Caucasus) correspondent rushed breathlessly to meet with the amir of the Karachaevo "Jamaat," Dagir Bejiev. 'According to preliminary findings, the man shared the views of murderous Moslem groups and the murderous Moslem underground,' said the source. The incident was close to the FSB counterintelligence office in the village where a 'clap' was heard. The attacker had got out of a car and walked up to a group of FSB officers who were conducting a 'criminal intelligence operation'. 'As law-enforcement attempted to arrest the person, he detonated explosives he carried on himself,' said the Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee. 'Six officers received minor injuries as a result of that, they are receiving medical help.' One of those hurt was named as Asker Abdurazakov, deputy head of the department of the forensic centre at the Interior Ministry in the region. Reports said there had been an earlier linked explosion five hours before the suicide bomber's attack. Authorities are trying to establish the identity of the assailant, reports said. Russia has been hit by kabooms carried out by Salafist tough guys from the North Caucasus in the past, although Moscow has largely crushed their insurgency. According to the Moscow Times, the FSB and NAC said earlier this week they had prevented 41 terrorist attacks so far in 2020. Karachayevo-Cherkessia is one of Russia's seven Moslem-majority regions in Russia's North Caucasus. They have experienced much violence in the two decades since separatists were defeated in nearby Chechnya.
