FoxNews reported this morning that 2 Chechyn women (allegedly 1 on each plane) were on the planes.

1 of the Chechyn woman was the last passenger to board.

As for the Islamo group's claim, per FoxNews, they said they had 5 aboard each plane.

[If the intent was to blow up the plane in flight, why would they need 5 aboard each one? That seems a big waste of homocide bombers. If their intent was to hijack and use the planes as missiles, why wouldn't they have been hijacked earlier in the flight (less fuel consumption, bigger potential boom), and what would have been their intended targets? The two planes exploding within some 4 minutes of each other, yet 450 miles apart, seems to signify timed events (either automatic timers or persons wearing bomb with manual or auto ignition}.]

The one flight was scheduled to land at the exact city where Putin was that night. The other was on a near parallel flight path. It was going to be a 911-style decapitation attack on Putin, IMHO.

CNN is reporting that remains of both Chechen women have not been found. I'm going with the theory that the women wore the explosives, perhaps internally, and therefore remains will not be found.

For those of you who haven't figured out what exactly went on. It strongly appears that each of these women...went through the Russian security gate, and boarded the plane (all at the last minute, in terms of buying the ticket and getting on the plane). The amount of explosive involved, is believed to be about the size of a bar of soap. It is also believed that each of these women carried this explosive on-board...in a body cavity (I will leave that to your own imagination), and entered the bathroom at the near appointed time...and pulled the device out, and detonated it themselves. Other than a full body and cavity search...there isn't much else the Russians can do. The Chechen folks are basically fools and if the Russians were smart...they'd just drop the region and ensure a high security fence goes up around Russia to prevent them from entering.
