Looks like it now says 31 dead and over 130 injured.
Jesus. Nasty.
The usual suspects - Chechen separatists? Or could it be something else?
35 dead, 152 injured.
Suicide bomb.
Or Georgian agents, or extreme nationalists, or one of the many other groups thats been getting strong armed by the Putin administration. Or possibly even the administration itself drumming up hysteria before the election to ensure a smooth transfer of power. Who knows, its a complicated time for Russia right now.
A local news station started their midday news with a story about a pending lawsuit over an accidental school shooting from last week. How that’s more important than a terrorist attack like this continues to blow my mind and make me angry.
What a bunch of crap :rolleyes:. If the same was said about 9/11, cries of “conspiracy nut” would resonate.
It’s simple. Those fucking chechen mizzlim scum.
Yeah, its pretty out there, however if you look at 1999 Russian apartment bombings - Wikipedia you’ll notice a paragraph stating:
This and a number of other similar accusations that have surfaced in recent years makes me entertain the possibility of just about any atrocity in Russia being an inside job.
Because there’s much more evidence of who was responsible, complete with a known terrorist group claiming responsibility. And the majority of the 9-11 conspiracy theories are too impractically grandiose to pull of.
Weren’t we just talking a few months ago about the possibility of this? About how personal searches in airports are useless, because bombers will switch to just letting 'er rip while they’re standing in line? I’ll do a search and come back.
The Yahoo newsversion has a graf about a man who thought he’d been badly wounded in the blast, only to be assured by doctors that he was, in fact, okay, and was merely *wearing *the person who had been standing next to him.
How utterly terrifying for everyone there…
That is awful.
BTW, can we save the crap in this thread about determining responsibility and who is to blame for this for when we actually know some more about it? Or until the bodies are actually cooled a bit?

Fucked up world we live in . The more I think about it the more I think Richard Proenneke had the right idea.
