#1 Am I missing something? (usually) Was this a counter-attack?

#2 Update: Two women blew themselves up Wednesday at a religious ceremony in Chechnya, killing at least 30 people and wounding dozens in the second major terror attack in the breakaway republic this week. The women apparently were trying to kill Akhmad Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya's Moscow-backed administration. Russian news reports said Kadyrov was among the 10,000 people attending the memorial service for three sheiks in Ilaskhan-Yurt, a village about 15 miles southeast of the capital, Grozny.Kadyrov was not hurt, the reports said. Maj. General Ruslan Avtayev of the Ministry of Emergency Situations told The Associated Press the women detonated bombs they were wearing around their waists.
Rescue officials were collecting body parts to determine how many people had died.

#3 Silly me, in jihadi, it is honorable to kill one's own if you might also kill an infidel. A concept, our military command culture learned way back in, ah... 1972?

#4 Plus keep in mind that the hard-core Wahhabis frown heavily (kufr!) on celebrating Mohamed's birthday (and anything else that's fun).
