Explosion in Moscow kills 30

Post by Thunderfire »

An exploding train car killed 30 in moscow this morning. Is this another terrorist attack? Or is it some kind of stupid accident.

We would have to wait for confirmation of a terrorist attack before jumping to conclusions and blaming the Chechens.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

Putin is blaming it on Chechen terrorists.

How is it jumping to conclusions to blame the Chechens? A train car can't just explode! I would be equally surprised if said explosion was caused by anything other than a Chechen bomb.

What he said, only I'd replace the word "equally" with "far more"

Well, it could have been Putin trying to get elected like he did the first time. But no, in this case, it does seem to be the Chechens. A suicide bomb, and the suspect certainly seems to fit the profile.

Btw, here's the supposed appearance of the suspect.

Have a very nice day.

Oh come on, the only peep of evidence in that regard is a claim by one of his enemies, and that's not evidence on its own.
