"The war will come to your street"--Doku Umarov Rebel leader Chechen rebel claims Metro blastsBBC News Wednesday, 31 March 2010 Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov has said his group was behind Monday's double suicide bombings on the Moscow Metro, which left 39 people dead.In a video message posted on a Chechen rebel website, he said he had personally ordered the attacks. He said they were carried out to avenge the killings of "poor Chechens" by Russian security forces in February and warned Russia to prepare for more. The message came as Russia buried the first victims of Monday's attacks. Russian investigators have said they believe two female suicide bombers were linked to militants in the North Caucasus. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has called on the security forces to "scrape from the sewers" those responsible. In a separate development, at least 12 people, including a top local police official, were killed by two suicide bombings in Russia's North Caucasus republic of Dagestan. A car bomb was detonated at about 0830 (0430 GMT) outside the offices of the local interior ministry and the FSB security agency in the town of Kizlyar. Another bomber then blew himself up 20 minutes later as a crowd gathered. So far no-one has claimed responsibility for the Dagestan blasts.

The rebel, who styles himself as the Emir of the Caucasus Emirate, said attacks on Russian soil would continue.

Chilling ... image shows suicide bomber with husband Teenager Named ‘Paradise’ Identified as Perpetrator of Moscow Metro AttackStuart Williams April 02, 2010 Moscow. She was a 17-year-old girl from a village deep in the North Caucasus with a baby face and a name meaning paradise. Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova is suspected of strapping several kilograms of explosives to her body on March 29 and heading into the bustling Moscow metro with a female companion. She then detonated her explosives at a metro station, killing more than 20 people. Forty minutes later, the other woman blew herself up at another Moscow station. Later, investigators would find her severed head, smeared in blood, on the metro platform. Like other Muslim Russian women who carried out suicide bombings earlier in the decade, Abdurakhmanova was a “Black Widow”, the wife of a leading Caucasus militant killed by the Russian security forces. “Her identity has been confirmed and checked out in several directions. It’s been established with almost 100 percent certainty that it was she who carried out the act,” Interfax quoted a Dagestan security source as saying. Recent photographs published on Friday showed Abdurakhmanova posing in an Islamic headscarf with her late husband, Umalat Magomedov. Abdurakhmanova proudly points a pistol to the sky. Her husband is holding a larger weapon. Magomedov was a Dagestani rebel killed in an operation on Dec. 31, 2009, and was suspected of being close to Islamist rebel Doku Umarov, who claimed he ordered the Moscow attacks that in total killed 40 people. Abdurakhmanova’s name Dzhennet, found among Muslim women in Russia, is derived from the Arabic word jannat , which means paradise. Reports said she had been identified as the bomber after officials compared the photograph with the severed head found at the metro station. Agence France-Presse

Very quite interesting, this Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova, other wise known as {BlackWidow} for now she must face her demons at the gates of hell.
The weapon she carries appears to be a Makarov kal. 9.18. Those are very robust and excellent side arms. At a time, also have I carried one {for varments of 4 legs and of 2 legs}, it is a 9mm Kurz.
The fellow as named as her husband, carries a Stechkin APS Maschinenpistole of possible 9x18 Kurz or 9x19, difficult to say for certain.
These weapons were provided to the armoured crews for emergency protection. I think the Russian would be: Automatischeskij Pistolet Stechkina.
As of mention of the forensic investigators, her head was some distance from the source of detonation. This is not un-usual, for the wrapped explosive these ladies prepare with, concentrates the detenational force in a circumference away from the body in as much to a shaped charge will conduct.
In as so, the body as bulk, is primary water, and as well known, water well not compress, as with this as a known, the torso to the extremities, will vaporise with only fragments of bone blown out. It is not un-usual for the head to remain intact as with the extremities of feet and hands to be recovered some distance from centre of conflagration. Depending upon typen of explosive used. Various explosives have burn rates depending upon composition.
It is not a nice business these people deal in, equally so, they all pay the price. For they are only dead once.

Well, we can see how effective stringent law enforcement and military action is at suppressing a people or a movement. The more the Russians kill Chechnians the more the Chechnians kill the Russians ... and it has been going on for hundreds of years. Genocide or peace are the only answers. The mongols reportedly used genocide quite effectively and bought hundreds of years peace with it.
Now we in the USA are moving more and more to "Israeli" security and animosity and insults and not-speaking, not dealing with one another. Oh, and now the commonality of death threats is firing up in the name of True Christianity of some more fanatics.
For those who do advocate violence as the best solution, longer prison sentences in all cases, omatra and personal revenge, I pose the Russian-Chechnian and the israeli-Palistinian models as the end goal of those methods.
The alternative is a tougher road down the road of discussion and tolerance and compromise - Libertarianism, if you wish, live and let live. Otherwise why not just skip all of the intermediate steps in violence and head straight to genocide?
