Day of Mourning in Moscow

Moscow and its region marked on Wednesday, a day of mourning in memory of the 35 dead from Monday's attack at Domodedovo airport, so that 116 wounded are still hospitalized. The Russians continued, according to images broadcast on television, to lay flowers and candles at the scene of the suicide bomber.

Wednesday, some titles of the Russian press regretted that this new attack has not led to the dismissal of senior police and special services, which fail to halt attacks in Russia, where the Russian Caucasus is over fifteen years the main focus of violence. The newspaper Vedomosti reports and Nikolai Patrushev, head of the FSB (former KGB) from 1999 to 2000, saw twelve hundred people die in bombings, and about two hundred have died and since his replacement by Alexander Bortnikov.

In March 2010, forty people were killed in a double suicide bombing in the Moscow metro, claimed by the Islamist rebellion in the Caucasus.
