Widow of a slain rebel one of Moscows bombers?
2010-04-03
[Iran Press TV Latest] A Russian newspaper says the young widow of a slain rebel was one of the bombers who attacked Moscow's subway on Monday.

Kommersant published what it said was a picture of Abdurakhmanova, also known as Abdullayeva, one of the two female suicide bombers, who attacked Moscow's subway on Monday.

A man with his arm around her, holding a bigger Stechkin gun, was identified as Umalat Magomedov, whom the paper described as a militant leader killed by government forces in December.

It says the subway bombers came from Dagestan and Chechnya. But Federal and local officials in Dagestan have refused to comment on the report.

The twin attacks Monday killed 40 people and wounded at least 90. Authorities were still trying to identify the second bomber and track down the organizers of the strike, for which a Chechen militant leader claimed responsibility.

#10  I guess we should be thankful that in the US disaffected yoots just poke holes in themselves...

Not quite true, alas. MS-13 have assasinated several police in the US and tried other times unsuccessfully.

#9  For a supposedly grieving and desperate widow, she sure gets around.

The gang analogies are apt. Scratch a fundamentalist-inclined "national liberation" movement and you'll see a criminal gang that creates as much if not more misery for its own than it does for the enemy.

#7  We had Bonnie and Clyde, they've got Abdurakhmanova and Umalat. I imagine, as the photo was taken, they were thinking to themselves, "God, we're so cool and edgy and shit..." Only in Russian, or Chechnyan, or whatever.

#2  To me they look like as vapid a pair of teenies as you'll find in any county social services office. Neither would have accomplished anything more substantial in life than they ends they came to and no one will remember them in two years with the possible exception of the relatives of the people they killed.

#1  She looks like she was bent on murder long before she became a widow.
