I wonder why the worry for a constiuent republic of only 300,000 people. Are you from there or do you have friends there?
Just curious.
This is the first I have heard of the place.
I sometimes search Google News with "terrorist" or "terrorism" to see what's going on around the world, and this came up. It was interesting, because it appears related to the Chechen terrorists. Maybe the same group who held the kids hostage in Beslan, even? I don't know, but I think there is a lot of terrorism that goes on in that area of the world that we don't hear about.
20 kg, that's a 44 lb bomb, if that would have gone off in a crowd, there would have been serious damage. Interesting that our media doesn't pick up these news items.
