Russia's FSB detains 3 suspects in connection with N Ossetia bombing
2010-09-10
(Itar-Tass) -- Russian security services have detained three persons suspected of involvement in Thursday's terrorist act in Vladikavkaz, the capital of the North Caucasian region of North Ossetia, that took away the lives of sixteen people and left more than a hundred others wounded.

"Involvement of a number of individuals was established hot on the trail of the bombing and operative steps are being taken now," Alexander Bortnikov, the director of Russia's Federal Security Service FSB said.

"We detained three suspects and continue working on this," he said.

"This crime /the act of suicide bombing, in which a car staffed with 30 kg to 40 kg of TNT exploded near the city's market -- Itar-Tass/ is marked by especial cruelty as much as cynicism," Bortnikov said.

"Peaceful residents, including children have been victimized and the rascals who did it shall be punished," he said.

Alexander Khloponin, the Russian President's Plenipotentiary Representative in the North Caucasian Federal District said President Dmitry Medvedev has given an instruction to provide all the possible medical assistance and social support to the wounded survivors of the terrorist act.

"We're working at full tilt now to fulfill the task," he said.

Russia did not create the situation itself like US in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Since 89 jihadist supported by western intelligence and there Mid East vassal states have been coming into the region and with the compliance with the regime in Chechnya harboured organised crime groups in Russia and international terrorists who started a genocide against the ethnic Russian population of mass rapes, kidnapping, murder and ethnic cleansing which inevitably lead t Russian intervention and the first Chechen war.

Today supported by Soros puppet state in Georgia and other states jihadists are launching terrorist attacks to continue to destabilise Russia.

If you had a clue you would know the main smuggling are is the Panski Gorge which is in Georgia.

#2  PS: The North had a treaty wish South O. that they weren't supposed to have any thing over 90mm until the Russians gave them the 122's.

#1  N. Ossetia finally ran a bell. Russia created that little cesspool all on its own. It's a primary smuggling area. I wonder if they used the 122mm shell parts for the blast, which Russia gave N.O. to help push the Ossetia war so the could gain more control of the north region.
