| Explosives discovered at airport in Grozny |
| 2002-05-20 |
| The police have discovered a cache with explosives and ammunition at the Chechen capital's airport Severny. The cache contained the total of nine trotyl blocks equaling 3.2 kg and eight bombs, said the press service of the North-Caucasian Interior Department. This is part of the background noise of terrorism — a bunch of guys in turbans (well, figuratively, anyway) sitting around and saying, "Hey! Let's blow up an airplane." Just doing a quick scan, there are lots more incidents like this every week in Chechnya than there are in Afghanistan, by a long shot. |
