Russian senator says Georgia was behind Domodedovo blast
MOSCOW, March 1 (Itar-Tass) -- Georgia might have been behind January's terrorist act in Moscow's Domodedovo airport, said Alexander Torshin, the first deputy speaker of the Russian Federation Council upper parliament house.
"I'm convinced that the attack was organized from abroad," Torshin, who is a members of the National Anti-terrorism Committee, said in an interview with the Rossiiskaya Gazeta daily. "I understand that my words may provoke anger and misunderstanding, but, in my opinion, it was Georgia and its regime. Saakashvili has never concealed his spite against us. He has made a competitive commodity from anti-Russian speculations and he is selling this commodity now."
"Terrorism is changing," he went on. "Any speculations about organized bandit groups united around some idea, clearly hierarchically structured are a catch of the 20th century. In the 21st century, terrorism is becoming a network business."
"In the past years, we have eliminated all more or less big groups of militants, leaving them without their leaders. Now there are no notorious names familiar to everyone. But the demand for terror has remained giving birth to small subversive groups, which make money on it. Such groups number from two to four persons, mostly jobless and very young. Even their leaders are almost illiterate, that means there are no ideology. Where it can come from? The recent terrorist attacks are a good illustration - not a single demand was made either before or after these terrorist acts," Torshin said.
The powerful blast that ripped through the international arrivals hall of the Domodedovo airport outside Moscow on January 24 claimed 36 human lives and left about 200 injured. The explosive devise with a yield of up to 5 kg of TNT was activated by a suicide bomber.
