Chechen rebels claim Russian train bombing |
2009-12-02 |
Chechen rebels claimed responsibility Wednesday for last week's Russian train bombing, which killed at least 26 people and injured scores of others, a Web site sympathetic to the militants said. The claim, posted on the Kavkazcenter.com site, could buttress the suspicions of officials who are tracing the attack to Islamist separatists in Russia's North Caucasus region. It also raises fears of a fresh wave of attacks outside the region after a five-year break -- a renewal of violence that would mirror the growing unrest inside the region. The separatist statement, issued on behalf of Chechen separatist leader Doku Umarov, claimed Friday's bombing of a Moscow-St. Petersburg express train was carried out on his orders. "We declare that this operation was prepared and carried out ... pursuant to the order of the Emir of Caucasus Emirate," or Umarov, the statement said. |

#3 Something for Vlad Putin to sink his teeth into. He really likes his trains. I'd be making certain my personal affairs were in order. Good luck Mr. Umarov. |

#2 The first claim was by a "nationalist group," which'd equate to neo-Nazis. I was surprised Count Doku didn't get there first. |
