Earlier this summer a video showed Umarov calling on his supporters to "show those who live in the Kremlin" that the insurgents are capable of disrupting the Olympics in Sochi. "They plan to hold the Olympics on the bones of our ancestors; on the bones of many, many dead Muslims buried on our land by the Black Sea. We as mujahedin are required to stop that, using any methods that Allah allows us." A local taxi driver said, "We had hoped all the terrorists had gone to fight in Syria, but the violence doesn't stop."
