So in case you've been living under a rock for the last few days a series of terrorist attacks have occurred in Russia.
Three of them in the last 4 days to be exact (link to NBC news). The attacks in Volgograd have caused 33 deaths so far (link).
I'm really angry right now, much more so than I've been in a long time. My thoughts and prayers for all those effected.
It's time for Putin to bring the hammer down, again. Just my personal opinion. Anyway just thought I'd share, seeing as how I didn't see a thread about this.
Update:
So the authorities have a primary suspect now - Doku Umarov, the self proclaimed "Emir of Caucasus" (link). It's not certain that he and his group are behind the attack, but again, he is the primary suspect as of now.
Some interesting tidbits taken from a video he made during the summer
"Today in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Palestine, our brothers are fighting," he said at the time. "Everyone who attacked Muslims wherever they are are our enemies, common enemies. Our enemy is not Russia only, but everyone who wages war against Islam and Muslims."
and
His message to Russians at the time: "I promise you that war will come to your streets and you will feel it in your lives, feel it on your own skin."
Fortunately, once terrorist leaders show their faces their life expectancy drops sharply.
