At least 36 people have been killed after two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on Moscow Metro trains in the morning rush hour, officials say.

Twenty-four died in the first blast at 0756 (0356 GMT) as a train stood at the central Lubyanka station, beneath the offices of the FSB intelligence agency.

About 40 minutes later, a second explosion ripped through a train at Park Kultury, leaving another 12 dead.

The FSB said it was likely a group from the North Caucasus was responsible.

Everytime a ride the train into NYC I think about that shit.

I don't believe it could be stopped if a terrorist wanted to do it.

People just buy a ticket , get in line and get aboard the train. There is no security on the NY/NJ Transit system that I have seen.

With all due respect, that's bullshit. Nobody wanted to touch Afghanistan with a 10 foot pole until they attacked us. No one had even heard of Iraq until they invaded Kuwait. I'm not saying that shit hasn't happened, but shit has happened everywhere since the dawn of time. There is NOTHING we can change that is going to stop crazy people from doing crazy things. And that's what they are. There is no geopolitical rationale for blowing yourself and innocent people up.

that isn't true

You only have to look at the data on annual rates of terrorism to see that it goes up as western/US involvement in the middle east increases, so anyone who thinks nothing can be done obviously has a major IQ problem. Even the CIA regard 9/11 as blowback.

There is a reason why Norway is not al-quada's number 1 target: norweigan made bombs are not falling on Palestinian homes or Chechyan primary schools

Indeed; read Ropert Pape's Dying to Win, among other texts. We've been mucking around the region for decades.
 
Wonder what Russia did to piss off the towel heads...

Have you ever heard about Chechenia?
They are on a long terrorist run (I don't really know if it even started before the 9/11) A School (+300 dead people, half of them kids) a Theater (+150 dead) another metro bombing in 2004 (+50 dead people)

I stopped working in Moscow because of that shit...there you have to take the subway like it or not, and... too scary

Oh... so we deserve it somehow?
 
Oh I see the religion of peace and tolerance strikes again.
