MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said militants operating on the Afghan-Pakistan border may have helped organise suicide bomb attacks that killed 38 in Moscow on Monday, Interfax news agency reported.

Two female suicide bombers attacked Moscow metro stations during the Monday morning rush hour. Both likely had links to the North Caucasus, the centre of an Islamist insurgency against Moscow, the head of Russia's FSB state security service said.

Some Russian officials have said that the insurgents in the North Caucasus, which includes Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan, have ties to al Qaeda, though many analysts have disputed the link.

I doubt if the Russians will put these terrorists in a tropical camp.

I remember back int he 80’s the Hezbollah made the mistake of kidnapping a KGB station Chief in Lebanon. They could return him fast enough after pieces and parts of the Hezbollah leadership started turning up all over Beirut, I also think they did a horses head Godfather scene (but with a Hezbollah leader taking the place of the horse head) on a well placed PLO type

The Rooskies do not screw around.

I have said all along we should have built the Gitmo prison in the nastiest possible region of Alaska, and we should have hired Russians to administrate it.

Keeping it far away in the wilderness would have had the additional benefit of keeping liberal bleeding hearts away from it because hey, it’s icky and cold up there.

Plus, if any of those scumbags wanted to escape, they could have held the doors open for them. Feeds the wolves and the polar bears.

It happened in Russia — it will happen here. Members of my family have known for a long time to keep distance from women wearing a burqa-like dress in crowds. You can bet your falafil that one of them will go BOOM! in the not too distant future.
