The suicide bomber who set off a 10kg TNT charge today in the southern Russian city of Volgograd had officially been identified as Oksana Aslanova, a 26-year-old Tabasaran national from Turkmenistan, the Voice of Russia's source reports.
An explosion rocked the railway station in Volgograd at 12:45 Moscow Time on Sunday, December 29th . According to the latest reports, 14 people were killed and dozens injured. One of the current version of events, the terrorist attack was carried out by Oksana Aslanova from Daghestan but that information needs to be confirmed,” the source said.
The woman was married to a militant warlord who was killed during a recent special operation. She was married several times. Investigators are searching for the relatives of Dagestani bandits suspected of masterminding terrorist attacks in Central Russia.

For every victim of a suicide bombing a thousand Muslims should be executed.
“And some people get upset when the Russians try to kick out the Muslims who are in the country illegally...”
No different than the uS
What evidence do you have that the US deports Muslims who are in the country illegally?
My point is that “some” people get upset when some of us would be in favor of deporting ILLEGALS.
“Investigators are searching for the relatives of Dagestani bandits suspected of masterminding terrorist attacks in Central Russia.”
I bet they are. I’ve heard the Russians will wipe out their entire families. It’s an effective deterrent when you know your entire family will pay the price.
A subgroup living in Dagestan, with its own language and subculture. Tabasarans are Sunni (technically Shafi'ite) Muslims, meaning this was more likely Al Qaeda than Hizbollah.
It makes me wonder, however, why the FSB (aka KGB), who knew enough about the Tsarnaevs to warn the FBI prior to the Boston bombing, couldn't see this coming: bombing the train station in Volgograd (aka Stalingrad) has all sorts of symbolic implications, much as bombing the Boston Marathon did in this country.
Its been reported that the bomber blew herself up at a metal detection checkpoint before entering the main part of the terminal, which is why the number of people killed by the blast was so low. Not sure what else the Russian authorities could do to protect the travelling public from this type of asymmetrical threat without making it impossible to get around.
lol... exactly the first thing that came to my mind too ;)
I had read the same thing... she saw the police at the checkpoint/metal detector and got nervous (not sure how they could figure that one out, unless there was CCTV footage)... but it does make sense.
Trust me Vlady don’t need this s**** he going lay smackdown on terroists pretty soon
BOB Costra be badmouth him on Olympic broadcasts
I just hope Vlady get smart throw Bob out of Russia or old style Russia gulgug
