Georgia accused over Moscow Metro bombing

The head of Russia’s Security Council accused Georgia today of backing terrorism in the North Caucasus and said that it could be involved in the Moscow Metro bombing.
As Moscow held the first funerals for victims of the attack, Nikolai Patrushev alleged that members of Georgia’s special services had links with terrorist groups in the region and said that investigators would look for evidence of their involvement in the double suicide-bombing that killed 39 people on the Metro.
Mr Patrushev, the former director of the Federal Security Service, the successor to the Soviet-era KGB, singled out Georgia and its pro-Western President Mikheil Saakashvili after being asked in an interview about possible foreign involvement in the terror attack.
“All theories have to be checked. For example, there is Georgia and the leader of that state, Saakashvili, whose behaviour is unpredictable,” Mr Patrushev told the Kommersant newspaper.

It was FSB engineered bombing at Moscow apartments which propelled Putin to power.
Ummmm... isn't this a "Russian version" of what we have here -- the "9/11 Truthers"? LOL ...
Maybe that's why President George Bush and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin were such good friends... :-)
“Ummmm... What?! They’ve got the equivalent of our “9/11 Truthers” like we do here? LOL ..”
The FSB men were caught in the act of planting bombs in an apartment building in Ryazan, Russia.
It was the “wag-the-dog” plot that brought Putin to power, and unfortunately it’s not just a paranoid fantasy.
The similarity ends when you get into details.
For someone who were around for a long time here, you sure don’t keep track of events.

Ummm..., this is getting to be a real "screwed up mess"... doncha know...
The Russians are blaming Georgia for the bombing in Moscow, for which FSB men were caught in the act of planting bombs -- but -- a Chechen terrorist has actually admitted responsibility for it.... LOL ...
It's sure sounding like a "9/11 Truther" thing to me... :-)
Gosh, we never saw that one coming. /sarc

On the contrary, I've been around here so long that I see all the ironic twists to one FReeper posting one thing, as compared to another FReeper posting another... LOL ...
The Chechnyians have already claimed credit. Maybe the Russians are afraid to go into the mountains after the Muslims who are gloating over their new killling fields.(no schoolhouse kids this time)
What's hilarious, here -- to me -- is that we're on one thread (posted by one FReeper) where it says that Russia is blaming Georgia, but "another thread" is posted by someone else (just minutes apart), where a Chechen is claiming responsibility for it -- while at the same time -- we've got a FReeper saying that it was the FSB agents who did it... LOL ...
You can't make this stuff up, even if you tried ... :-)
“The Russians are blaming Georgia for the bombing in Moscow, for which FSB men were caught in the act of planting bombs — but — a Chechen terrorist has actually admitted responsibility for it.... LOL ...”
The FSB men were caught planting bombs in 1999.
The Moscow subway explosion under the FSB building has occurred in 2010.
Neither event was at all funny.
In the case of engineering bombing, Chechen did not claim it as their work unlike this current bombing in Moscow subway.
Headline: Putin names Georgian president as responsible
for South Korean ship sinking....
Neither event was at all funny.
The funny thing -- is -- all the conflicting information that makes it look like (on the one hand) a 9/11 Truther thing (which we laugh at here, as ridiculous, with the "Russian version" being that it was FSB agents), and then a Muslim thing (in which we've got another thread where a Chechen claimed responsibility), and next another country's terrorism against Russia (with Russia claiming that Georgia did it).
"Russian officials including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said in late 2008 that they hoped the scale and determination of the Russian intervention in neighboring Georgia would convince Russia's own insurgents across the border in the North Caucasus of the futility of continuing to fight." - wsj.com
Putin was wrong. Russia's coddling of the muslims and attacking Christians instead has only emboldened Russia's home-grown islamic insurgency. Russia's support for ethnic separatists in Georgia has destabilized the entire Caucasus region and furthered the interests of separatists throughout Russia itself.
