Moscow airport struck by terrorist attack

Terrorist attacks in Russia are increasing:
An explosion ripped through the international arrivals hall at Moscow's busiest airport on Monday, killing 31 people and wounding about 130, Health Ministry officials said.

Russian news agencies reported the explosion was caused by a suicide bomber and that the device was packed with shrapnel.
More at Jihad Watch. This is truly terrifying.

Update: the AP Wire (via Hot Air) notes that the airport's security is terrible:
Domodedovo is generally regarded as Moscow’s most up-to-date airport, but its security procedures have been called into question.

In 2004, two suicide bombers were able to board planes at Domodedovo by buying tickets illegally from airport personnel. The bombers blew themselves up in mid-air, killing all 90 people aboard the two flights.
But who knows if this'll serve as a wakeup call to the public about how their leaders - Putin and Medvedev - have let them down? If I were Russian, I'd certainly be angry that they did nothing to improve airport security, which they're tragically in charge of ever since they reinstated old communist tactics.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
