Perfect example of Soviet/Russian terrorists in Muslim disquise. Pretend your Muslim, kill hundreds of innocent civilians, and then blame authentic Muslims. Does anyone want to take a stab at why the Soviets/Russians would do such a thing???

http://www.chechnya-mfa.info/print_news.php?func=detail&par=101 PRESS-RELEASE: TERRORISM IN RUSSIA IS ORGANIZED AND MANAGED BY THE RUSSIAN SECURITY AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE SERVICES FOR PROPAGANDA AND SCAPEGOATING PURPOSES
Terrorism in Russia is organized and managed by the Russian security and military intelligence services for propaganda and scapegoating purposes. We do not think that the latest bombing in Moscow is an exception to this rule.
The fact that Russian security services in committing terrorist acts in Russia and elsewhere occasionally use their agents of Chechen origin does not make the Chechen people and the Chechen government responsible for the Kremlin's dreadful crimes. The Chechen government will not, under any circumstances, accept violence against civilians and civilian objects. We repeat that we condemn terrorism in all its forms.
We regret that the western governments fail to see that it is Russian governmental structures that organize these terrorist acts and that it is Russian agents that carry out these terrorist acts. There is a plenty of evidence to this.
For instance, Mr. Khanpasha Terkibaev, an ethnic Chechen serving for the Russian Secret Service and who is one of the main organizers and direct participant of the hostage taking in the Moscow Theater Center at Dubrovka in October 2002, is a clear proof that terror in Russia comes from the Russian government.
Mr. Khanpasha Terkibaev even after the hostage taking has continued to work for the Russian state structures, including the deputy head of President Putin's administration Mr. Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov and Putin's aide Mr. Sergei Vladimirovich Yastrzhembsky. As the hostage taking ended in killing not only Russian but also western nationals, we believe that western governments should no longer close eyes to Kremlin’s role in terrorism. [1]"

Muslims not to blame for Beslan massacre?
Watch video of Chechen claiming Islam 'innocent of this operation'

A Chechen politician has claimed that both Chechnya and Islam are innocent in the massacre of civilians at a school in Beslan, Russia.
Badr Al-Din Bino, who lives in Jordan, said in a television interview on Dubai's Al-Arabiya TV that Russia will continue to implicate Muslims but that it was "intelligence agencies" that are responsible for the carnage.
The Middle East Media Research Institute TV Monitor Project, or MEMRI TV, features a video clip and translation of the interview with Bino.
"I am surprised that Putin refuses to conduct an investigation into this issue," he said. "Even stranger … is that they initially said the leader of this group was from Ingushetia and later they said those who carried out this operation were Arabs or people from al-Qaida, and that 15 of them escaped. I am absolutely certain that just like in Qatar, when they assassinated the president, they will put on a show and release four or five Arab or Chechen prisoners and conduct a show as though they are the ones who carried out this operation. Therefore, the Chechen and Islam are innocent of this operation, which was planned by intelligence agencies.
"Where are the Russian forces? Either there is a failure and the Russian forces cannot secure this region or there was Russian collaboration."
Continued Bino: "I ask, what was the terrorism: The taking of hostages or the operation to release them? I am surprised at Moscow. … They used BZ gas, which is internationally banned and is a new substance manufactured by Russia. They refused to give it to the hospitals in order to produce the antidote. Suddenly, the kidnappers acted with such ease, even though it is known that the Beslan school area is surrounded by tanks and planes.
"I am surprised at the Russian media and surprised that the Arab media repeats what is said in the Russian media. They always accuse the Arabs and claim there are Arab elements, but as of yet, we have not seen on TV Arab faces who participated in the operation."
