A spokeswoman for Moscow's busiest airport says 35 people have been killed by an explosion in its international arrivals hall.

Domodedovo Airport spokeswoman Yelena Galanova made the statement Monday on Russia's NTV television.

Other officials put the death toll at 31 and said about 130 people were injured in the explosion Monday afternoon. President Dmitry Medvedev said it looked like a terror attack and the state RIA Novosti news agency said the blast may have been set off by a suicide bomber.

He did it with a fanny pack...

Global Warming?

Tea Party?

Bush’s fault?

Stay tuned for ... weather coverage at 6 PM.

You jest! Of course its Palin, Limbaugh and Beck’s fault! Just ask the Paper of Record. (sarc)

“You know that Tina Fey on SNL while portraying Sarah Palin said “I can see Russia from my house.” “

Sarah NEVER SAID THAT attributed quote, but the media morons hung on to it. She said that she could see Russia from the American side, which, if any hammer-ass has studied geography (instead of social studies or whatever the hell they call it) would know that she was ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT! Big difference from seeing it from her HOUSE.

Anyway, such a tragedy . . . my daughter and son-in-law flew out of that airport just two weeks ago . . . how sad!

It says in the article that one man was seen in a sort of daze pushing a luggage cart through the piles of bodies and severed limbs. Some of the people against the wall are probably dead.

“Turns out there is a reason,
Muslims are in season, ...”

Putin was overheard singing that to himself.

;-)

Russian Moslims have been acting out their Koranic demands to kill Christians for umpteen centuries. Christian Russians are tired of the continual Moslim attacks.

Somehow, I doubt Putin would lose any sleep if he had continue the age old Russian practice of direct reduction of the Moslim population.

do they have Amish in Moscow?

Reuters is reporting that Muslim insurgents had vowed increased violence in the run-up to Russian elections.

35 innocent travelers bombed and shredded to death by shrapnel is not a cause for levity.

This is life and death.

[caww]

Yes indeed..it is coming no doubt. All they need is one inside person to open the gate...just one. If the economic conditions continue here I can see someone being paid lots of money to do just that.

Sarah NEVER SAID THAT attributed quote, but the media morons hung on to it.

You're absolutely correct. The media destroyed Dan Quale over a potato(e)!

We should destroy liberals the same way. Our esteemed CIC repeated "corps(e)man" several times in one speech and that tells you a lot about the IGNORANCE of The BRILLIANT ONE (WON.)

BTW, where are 0b0z0's education records to see if he ever passed English as a second language?

Using Master Alinsky's manual against Conservatives, is something the Fifth Column Media excels at.

Thin-skinned Communists should be treated the same and that will laugh them out of control! Papa Alinsky

[Red Badger]

I doubt there’s much to treat on a suicide bomber.

[NFHale]

I believe you are correct, brother...

[DAC21]

I doubt The Religion of Peace needs an excuses like tough economic times to blow some people up. It’s beyond me that we haven’t had an incident like this yet. There are a whole lot easier targets than an airport.

[madinmadtown]

It makes one wonder how long Russia will remain silent about any intelligence that they might have about Obama’s history. If this was, in fact, carried out by Muslim insurgents, it seems to me that Russia would have an interest in releasing any information that they might have about Obama. Of course, it might be more useful for them to use it as blackmail against him, but I doubt that they trust him at all and they may believe that the stakes are high enough to try and expose him.

From the article:

“A dazed man in a suit pushed a baggage cart through the carnage.”

[caww]

No but they do need someone on the inside to open the door...or pass them thru security.

[w1andsodidwe]

I think you will note that I never said that Sarah said that. I said that Tina Fey said that. Don’t understand why you would assume that I was so dumb that I would think that if Tina said it Sarah did. I am not an idiot liberal.

At Domodedovo, there's an area just as you're exiting the international arrivals hall where all of the relatives, hosts, and drivers wait for arriving travelers. It's quite a gauntlet of people you've got to negotiate when you leave. So, it's quite imaginable that this guy could target 100-200 people without entering into the secure area.

When I was at that airport in Moscow in 1988, there were two separate sections within the airport that didn’t interact. It had a great big wall separating both sections - the international section and the Soviet citizen section. Our section was calm & empty; the Soviet section was chaos & mayhem. Took a flight on Ae...roflot to Leningrad that day, which was a nightmare in itself...
