(Reuters) - Russian law enforcement officers detained 140 people at a Muslim prayer room in Moscow on Friday as part of a search for Islamist militants, Russian news agencies quoted Federal Security Service (FSB) officials as saying.
FSB and Federal Migration Service officers took the detainees, including more than 30 foreigners, to police stations near the site in southern Moscow, state-run RIA cited the FSB's Moscow branch as saying.
There was no indication of any link to the April 15 attack at the Boston Marathon, in which U.S. authorities believe two ethnic Chechen brothers with roots in Russia's North Caucasus set off bombs that killed three people and wounded 264.
President Vladimir Putin said in a television appearance on Thursday that the Boston bombings justified his tough line against militants in the North Caucasus and that Russia and the United States must step up cooperation against militants.
RIA reported that law enforcement authorities said some people who had been at the prayer room in the past had joined an Islamist insurgency in the North Caucasus.

Russia succeeding where obama refuses to tread.
Which why I wonder if all muslims should be treated as citizens of Islam.
I'd be more inclined along these lines:
Actually the Sunnis pose a closer danger. It is better to support the Shiites to kill the Sunnis
Gotta give it to them Russkies.
They don’t eff around and get all cushy and feely and multi-cultural kumbayah-ish blah blah blah blah blah...
And when someone threatens them, THEY RECOGNIZE IT AND DEAL WITH IT!!
Cannot kill off Sunnis — their birth rate is astronomical. Ironically, the only way to tame Muslims is to inject liberalism, which includes modernism, homosexualism, feminism, pacifism, celebrity culture, technology worship, and relativism. In no time, Islam will be as pussified as any previously-violent religion.
