fridi | Blood on the Volga

Caucasian terrorism has hit Russia yet again, and this time just before the Olympics. Two suicide bombers made two separate attacks within the last 24 hours in Volgograd which is about 600 km away from the turbulent North Caucasus, and 400 km away from Sochi. The first one killed 17 and injured 40 at the railway station, then followed another one in a trolley bus which was blown up at peak hour next to a school, the body count currently being 14, with scores of injured. This has been the third attack in Volgograd since October when a female suicide bomber blew a bus to smithereens.
