Woman suicide bomber kills at least 14 at Russian station

Quote:
(Reuters) - A female suicide bomber blew herself up in the entrance hall of a Russian train station on Sunday, killing at least 14 people in the second deadly attack within three days as the country prepares to host the Winter Olympics.

The bomber detonated her explosives in front of a metal detector just inside the main entrance of Volgograd station. Footage shown on TV showed a massive orange fireball filling the stately colonnaded hall and smoke billowing out through shattered windows.
Escalating spiral of violence, these suicide bombings, a worrying development in the community

This is just terrible. A few days ago, these 14 people most likely spend Christmas with their loved ones, now they are blown to bits, 14 families destroyed...

Friggin sick planet.

Well there is one but I doubt it is acceptable. Would require a couple of loose nukes and the wind in the right direction.

Or we could send Skybird. But seriously where do these people get off. I just don't comprehend.

We know too well about those railway station terrorist attacks, about those who plan and foment them, and those who carry out such actions. Terrorism acts very well known in Italy, inter alia.

I was referring to the Caucasus region more specifically different groups of these land have never been fully loyal to Russian/Soviet/Russian authority.

Also the previous scorched earth campaigns carried out but Russia served only to spread the fire not stamp it out.Of course as I said this fire has been burning for a very long time and the scorched earth method has thus far failed.Now it is a very nasty situation leaving many people stuck in the middle.

Nearest city area to Dagestan and Chechnya IIRC, so whilst unfortunate, not particularly surprising.
