Explosives Found in Russian Cinema (St. Petersburg)
UK Telegraph ^ | 9/9/04

Posted on 09/09/2004 6:51:13 AM PDT by gopwinsin04

Police have found explosives, home-made bombs and a gun in a cinema in St. Petersburg.

The discovery was made in the city's Progress cinema, which has been closed for renovation for the past six months.

The Interfax news agency reported that prior to the discovery, three men from Kazakhstan were arrested who were in possession of four Kalashinkov rifles.

The arrest, by organized crime squad detectives, suggests that the weapons could be related to criminal gangs.

The country has been on a state of high alert following the recent terrorist attacks on a Beslan school, which killed more than three hundered, and two suicide bombings on flights within Russia.

Hang them publically, and televise it, so as to be instructive.

The reason he hasn't been able to export the model...

It is not for a lack of trying. The Iranians have been the central force behind global Islamofascist terrorism. Khomeini helped spawn UBL and established the model that Islam could defeat the West. Khomeini humiliated the US over 444 days of the hostage crisis and then forced the US out of Lebanon by blowing up the Marine barracks. UBL followed by driving us out of Somalia.

The Taliban tried to emulate the Iranian model.

Look for construction workers with turbans.

Calling them turbans could get some innocent Sikh beaten up. More like Islamic do-rags.

A personal suggestion to Americans.

Make sure you know the custodian of your building at work or your apartment. Stay at work late and get to know the cleaning crew/s. Make sure you personally know the custodians at your children's schools. Be very alert of the crowd in a shopping mall, looking for any mall employees of foreign origin.

Yes, it was reported.

The person in charge said there have been numerous reports filed about such suspicious happenings.

They don't give any follow-up information when you try to find out about what happened.

My kids no longer attend movies (which is fine with me), but there were certainly no warnings of any kind issued.

Perhaps the TEENS working in the theatres have been told to report any suspicious groups...yea, I feel safe with that.

They need a list of everyone who was on the work crews!

Yeh, between their cell phone calls & text messages, they can be on the lookout!

BTW, I really don't get that text messaging thing...so much work for so little but I guess if you have a lot of time on your hands....

Every mall I frequent has a cheap jewelry kiosk manned by 25-30 year old Middle Eastern men. I've paid close attention to them at the mall I shop in most often - I have yet to see them make one sale.

I'd be running a bomb dog & Military EOD team's thru every church, school , mall, theater, etc etc where people congregate for work or play........these islamakazis have cached their tools so they can walk in clean past high security protective measures put in place later and still murder at will.......

Stay safe !

Don't confuse sikhs with muslims. Sikhs loathe muslims, and are our friends. Next best buddy in a problem than a Gherka.

Never mind the fact that half the teens up here could belong to one of these terrorist groups!

Another thing, since I'm going on about it, I don't know about you guys down there, but up here just TRY and find a gas station not operated by someone from the Middle East.

I said a couple of years ago, if they want to see our economy come crashing down, just blow up all the stations they operate on the same day.

Actually it's times like these you appreciate the art of making someone simply disappear from the face of the earth.

If our special ops guys find these guys in the act I'd prefer no one ever hear from the bad guys again.

That's got to be scarier to their fellow murderers. Or better yet send the heads wrapped in pig entrails to the idiots that lead them or stacked at the doors of the mosque they were known to have attended....

Sorry, I'm just so angry and I don't think I can imagine anything horrible enough to make these nonhumans have any kind of empathetic response to their victims.

I don't go to movie theatres. If the candy prices don't kill you...........

To me, the thought of sitting in a dark room, on a filthy louse infested chair, with a few hundred absolute strangers for two hours is problematic. Your feet stuck to the floor to boot.

I don't need to find out what Syeven Spielberg or David Geffen have been up to that badly thank you.

Creepy.

We know they want to "hit us again." We also have the Beslan model to help us prepare.

Yes, checks on schools and movie theatres, where construction has been going on, would be a good, smart thing to do.

It would sure be encouraging if someone in authority would, maybe, mention to people that they should do this.

I know some may be worried about "panic." But, for Heaven's sake, we are getting clues galore on their methods of operation.

Personal safety is a personal responsibility, not that of the police or government. I don't count on them to keep me safe. I teach my children the same thing. One would be absolutely astonished at how completely unaware people can be.

When in a shopping mall and the kids get separated, I instruct them to look for the barcodes and stay there until a guard comes to scan it on his or her rounds in order to get help. Are any of you aware that in the shopping malls there are barcodes on the sides of the signs, benches, plants, and hallways which serve as station clocks/watchkeys for security? Find one, wait ten minutes, and a guard will arrive to scan the barcode to indicate his or her position and will keypad enter any observations or security notes to the monitoring desk in real-time. It's the best way to find your lost kid or any security concerns without making a scene.

Well, I certainly had no idea about this. It's a fabulous tip. Thank you!

There's worse "coordinated" things they could do then just blow them up.
