Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said militants operating on the Afghan-Pakistan border may have helped organize suicide bomb attacks that killed 38 in Moscow on Monday, Interfax news agency reported on Monday.
Two female suicide bombers attacked Moscow metro stations during the Monday morning rush hour. Both likely had links to the North Caucasus, the centre of an Islamist insurgency against Moscow, the head of Russia's FSB state security service said.
Some Russian officials have said that the insurgents in the North Caucasus, which includes Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan, have ties to Al Qaida, though many analysts have disputed the link.

global jihad bump
I don’t know if they ever got the masterminds of the Beslan school massacre, but their extended families were rounded up and haven’t been heard from since.
If the Russkies are smart they will bulldoze and level all those territories of the Jihadis and then maybe come and help us kill a few 100,000 in Afghanistan.
And what about the homegrown Jihadis waiting for an opportune moment?
Guess Russia should have helped us in Afganistan. Lost opportunity-whoopsee.
Right. All the free time they've had on their hands lately what with US drone attacks and battles with the Pakistani army in Wazeristan and Wazzupistan. Or perhaps Border Al-Queerda has opened up a consulting firm for help with those "special occasion" bombings.
What's interesting is how hard Russia is trying to make this a non-Chechnya problem.
Anything done to those who planned the Moscow Theater attack, the Beslan attack, the blowing up of apartment buildings in Moscow? I don’t think so.
Further I think this is a subtle attack on our presence in Afghanistan.
It will become Obama’s fault for the attack on the subways, and of course, O will blame Bush.
Lot easier to pass the blame than to actually take action.
Exactly what I have called for.
If you are a terrorist your whole family should be killed,mother father, sister, brother, dog cat goldfish.
Makes the next one think twice.
‘Anything done to those who planned the Moscow Theater attack, the Beslan attack, the blowing up of apartment buildings in Moscow? I don’t think so.’
In fact every Chechen public figure or unofficial resistance leader who was not too smart to switch sides is killed in the most brutal way. the luckiest ones are serving life in prison.
