The bombers were 'white' ~ and 'moslem' ~ islam is not a color or racial classification.

Of note, the Chechens are/were part of the Caucasion background population making up the so-called Circassians who were brought in as children to man the Ottoman spatznez in the late middle ages. Sometimes they are referred to as Christians but the Chechens CONVERTED to islam about 1300 to gain Ottoman protection against the Turks.

Yes but I think they were trying to finger someone that was not Muslim and it failed.
