Militant Muslim Group Says it Downed Two Russian Planes......
A group calling itself the Islambouli Brigades claimed responsibility Friday for the downing of two Russian planes on a militant Muslim web site, Associated Press reports. Their statement accused Russians of killing Muslims in Chechnya. http://www.mosnews.com/ ----- Experts Cite Blasts, Two Chechens in Double Plane Crashes...... Police and FSB agents are investigating the role two Chechen women who boarded the planes that crashed in south Russia Tuesday may have had in possible explosions. Experts, meanwhile, cite evidence of a low-caliber blast at the back of the planes. http://www.mosnews.com/ [ 08-27-2004, 05:09 AM: Message edited by: Ziroc ] |

It has gotten quite alot of attention here in Sweden, but perhaps that's due to our close proximity to Russia.

I can't believe that this situation can be so openly ignored. Does Bush and Blair not see that if Muslim extremists are to blame then Russia is a potential close ally. It is well documented that the current state of Russia is poor but when under threat we should all work together. I haven't heard as much from either Blair or Bush on this matter. This is not a matter for NATO you know!

I am quite sure that President Bush is quite aware of the situation. But he is not forgetting the stance that Russia took in the runup to the Iraq War, either.

I hate that so many people died and agree that there should be more news here about it, this is the first I heard about it

I have heard it on three different news stations on the radio today, driving back and forth from school...
if this makes anyone feel any better. [ 08-27-2004, 03:44 PM: Message edited by: Larry_OHF ]

It has been front page news here in Canada for three days.
And it's now almost a certainty that it was Chechen terrorist activity.
