These people are gonna get their arses kicked. Russia had better give them all they've got, or I'll be disappointed.

Terrorism in Russia's been going on for a long time (I highly recommend the HBO documentary Children of Beslan). It's even more horrible given Russia's brutal and tyrannical responses to it.

Yes, exactly.

The Russians have been fething up anti-muslim operations since the 1980s in Afghanistan, if not earlier.

I'd proffer Ivan the Terrible first dealt with the issue actually.

Some of Putins statements on the possibility of a public enquiry after Beslan. (Article is from some time ago, I just think it's a good example of his no nonsense attitude)

Who in their right mind would feth with Putin?

And the repurcussions for this incident should be good. In Soviet Russia, colon search you!

Good show Sir!

Surely the "suicide bomb" bit tipped you to the point that they're not in their right mind?

Not surprising, I will surmise this was a Chechen attack.
