Volgograd: 'Ten dead' in second blast to hit Russian city
BBC ^ | Monday, December 30, 2013

Posted on 12/29/2013 9:19:12 PM PST by kristinn

At least 10 people have been killed and 10 others injured in an explosion on a trolleybus in the Russian city of Volgograd, Russian media report.

The blast comes a day after 17 people died in a suicide bomb attack at the central station in the city.

Security has been tightened at railway stations and airports across Russia.

Moscow is concerned militant groups could be ramping up violence in the run-up to the 2014 winter Olympic Games in the city of Sochi.

The Olympic venue is close to Russia's volatile north Caucasus region.

Volgograd lies about 900km (560 miles) south of Moscow, 650km north of the North Caucasus and 700km north-east of Sochi.

Good question.

If it was Putin, why now? It is casting a pale over the Russian Olympics, something I think he would not want.

Not in Volograd but not that far away. So, what happens in Volograd can very well happen in Sotchi.

My wife is from Volgoograd, and just last month returned after a long visit. We own an apartment overlooking the Volga River. I’m not surprised considering the proximity to Chechnya.

Sochi was Muslim Circassian/Adyge from the 15th century until the 19th century, when the Russians conquered the area in a campaign of mass murder and ethnic cleansing. There is a reason why there are no more Ubyks anymore. The Chechens have been fighting for two decades. Circassians have become more vocal because of the insult of the games location. If they resort to terrorism, then there will be a long bloody winter.

Al Qaeda is miscalculating by making the Sauds look bad with attacks near the Ruskiy Olympics.

“So the question is was it Muslims, other dissidents, or the orderly Marxist Bureaucrat Putin creating an excuse to crack down on his political elements?”
******************************************************************
And the answer is Muzzies. We should not criticize the Russians as they crackdown on their Muzzie problem — which is hundreds of times worse than ours.

Death toll up to 18. Putin will not let this go unpunished.

This is the third bomb, with the train station the first yesterday. Yes, there was a bus prior to these 3 bombs.

It’s only a matter of time until this happens enough in the U.S.A. that it effects our every day life. I have no doubt the goons in congress will expand the TSA in a major way to cover public transportation. That is their only solution - more government.

Sad. No doubt the Russian response is coming.
