Female suicide bombers likely suspects in Moscow


Background: Officials are saying female suicide bombers detonated explosions that rocked two subway stations in central Moscow during rush hour on Monday morning, killing at least 38 people. The blast was caused by 300 to 400 grams of explosives according to Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov. An estimated 500,000 people were riding trains throughout the capital at the time of the attacks and they are saying it is unclear when the train lines will be up and running again. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said the "terrorists" responsible for the Moscow subway attacks Monday "will be destroyed." This attack happened in 2 different train stations but on the same train line. The two explosions where about 40 minutes apart and according to the investigation "Fragments of the suicide bombers' body found at the blast, according to preliminary findings, indicate that the bombers were from the North Caucasus region."



Opinion: This is just another clear example that no country is safe from terrorist attacks. Terrorist violence will never be stopped until everyone is an alliance with each other so every country can attack terrorism head on. Even then, I don't think terrorism will ever be stopped on this earth til the day I die. Countries can increase there security and take all the right steps towards stopping and preventing terrorism, but it will still occur regardless. Terrorists will always find a way around security because that is there job and there main goal. They are smart and will do anything possible to cause chaos in the world we live in today. It's even more sad now that they are saying women where behind these attacks, and its a clear sign terrorism is spreading to different countries and now to women.
