By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | December 3rd, 2009 | Trackback

Two train bombings occurred within days recently, raising fears that a new wave of violence against the state may be underway similar to the campaign carried out by Chechen rebels in Moscow five years ago. The first bombing derailed a high-speed train on the main line between Moscow and St. Petersburg overnight Nov. 27-28, killing 26 people. A North Caucasus Islamic militant group claimed responsibility for the attack. The second incident occurred in Daghestan with no injuries and the train continued on its journey.
