But wouldn't it make more sense for the Georgians to attack military targets? Rather than two planes?

MOSCOW - Two Russian airliners carrying a total of more than 100 people crashed south of Moscow, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported Tuesday. There was no word on survivors.

The first plane was carrying 54 passengers and a crew of eight when it crashed in the Tula region near the village of Buchalki, the agency said, citing a duty officer at the regional center for civil defense and emergencies. The Tula region is about 110 miles south of Moscow.

The second plane was carrying 44 people when it crashed near Rostov, the agency said, citing an Inter-State Aviation Committee official. Rostov is about 600 miles south of Moscow.

Both planes were Tupolev Tu-154 jets, a medium-range airliner.

I doubt Georgia has anything to do with this, its almost got to be one of two things: a mid air collision, or possibly Chechen terrorists.

Anyone who is given the opportunity to submit to Islam and refuses to do so is the enemy. It does not matter if they are military, children, grandmothers, or tooth fairies, they are all enemies which should be killed or made into slaves.(according to the nut book so dear to Islam.....)

Has passenger/crew manifest been made public?
