The Obama administration offered to work on Sochi Olympics security issues with Russia after a pair of bombings in Volgograd killed at least 31 people.
President Vladimir Putin gave instructions to the National Anti-Terrorism Committee to step up security measures across all of Russia and specifically in Volgograd region, the Kremlin said Monday. The president will receive daily reports from the NAC on the measures being taken along with regular situation reports.
Putin had not emerged to make a personal statement on the bombings, which occurred at a train station and on a bus.
The train station bomber was reportedly Pavel Pechyonkin, a former paramedic who converted to Islam and joined militants in Dagestan. In March, Pechyonkins parents videotaped a plea to their son to drop his arms and come home. I dont believe that Allah has ever said that one must kill people, his mother said.
Imagine that somebody were to kill your parents, how would that make you feel? Why are you turning children into orphans?
Pechyonkin taped his own video response. Why should we follow those Christian commandments, when Allah, may he be glorified, urges us to fight those kafirs. Why shouldnt we leave their children orphaned? he said.
I am not inventing anything from the Koran, I am reading.
National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement today that the United States condemns the terrorist attacks that struck the Russian city of Volgograd and sends deepest condolences to the families of the victims with hopes for the rapid healing of those wounded.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

Sounds like Obama is going to stop them damn kids from toilet papering the Kremlin.

In terms of security for Sochi, U.S. citizens planning to attend should remain alert regarding their personal security at all times. I think our security experts have said that criminal activity in Sochi is similar to other cities of comparable size. Obviously, major events such as the Olympic games are an opportunity for thieves or for other folks who want to cause mischief, Harf said.I'll advised to speak of general security when addressing a terrorist incident but I don't see where the word mischief was directed towards acts of terror.

He is nowhere close to a valedictorian, at any level. He was a choom ganger in High School, and there is no indication that he distinguished himself academically ever.

Mischief? My definition of mischief doesn’t include over two dozen corpses.

This may sound even stupider, but I don’t see the money quote in reference to this incident. I know the administration has used the phrase in a more general sense.

After the Boston bombing debacle, I doubt anyone wants the help of Obama’s security team.
