R.I.P the dead. I guess same group is responsible for these bomb blasts as well.
Militant admits Russia tube attacks
A Chechen militant has claimed responsibility for the deadly tube bombings in Moscow as two new suicide bomb attacks targeting police officers in southern Russia left 12 people dead.
Doku Umarov, who leads Islamic militants in Chechnya and other regions in Russia's North Caucasus, said in a video posted on a pro-rebel website that Monday's twin suicide attacks were an act of revenge for the killing of civilians by Russian security forces.
He warned that attacks on Russian cities would continue.
Umarov's statement was posted after prime minister Vladimir Putin vowed to "drag out of the sewer" the terrorists who plotted the tube bombings which killed 39 people and injured scores of commuters during the rush hour.
Wednesday's suicide bombings in Dagestan, a volatile southern province east of Chechnya, could have been planned by the same group behind Moscow's bombings, Mr Putin said. "I don't rule out that this is one and the same gang."
The bombings in Moscow were the first suicide attacks in the Russian capital in six years and shocked a country that had grown accustomed to having such violence confined to its restive southern corner.
Umarov blamed ordinary Russians for turning a blind eye to the killing of civilians in the Caucasus by security forces and warned that more attacks on Russian cities were coming.
"I promise you that the war will come to your streets and you will feel it in your lives, feel it on your own skin," Umarov said in a video posted on kavkazcentre.com, a website affiliated with the rebels.
Officials at Russian law enforcement agencies refused to comment on Umarov's claim, but the Russian security chief has previously said that the tube bombings were carried out by militants from the Caucasus.
In the latest attacks, a suicide bomber in a car detonated explosives when police tried to stop the car in the town of Kizlyar, interior minister Rashid Nurgaliyev said. As investigators and residents gathered around the scene of the blast, a second bomber wearing a police uniform approached and set off explosives, killing the town's police chief, among others.
