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.

When are governments going to learn that civilizations are incompatible with muslims?

It is hard to say. PC is deeply ingrained in many governments, and until PC deep sixed, I would say they will never learn. I think Putin is not big on PC, however.

In fact there was an open season for Chechens in Dagestan following Boston bombing. Russian were razing the entire Chechen neighborhoods there and it wasn’t much reported in media.

Stalingrad should have gotten used to explosions in 1942 and 1943.

Well my take on it is that the games are being held on some graves of an ancient people that the chechens have decided are distant cousins or something.

But for the chechens, any excuse to blow up and kill people works too.

Putin understands he cannot show weakness, or the Muslim’s will double their efforts. There will not be any appeasement forthcoming.

It’s the way it should be. No rolling over to terrorists. We shall see if I am correct.
