At least 16 dead in Volgograd suicide bombing

Tragic.

Also creates major worries for what could happen in Sochi in two months.

This is quite worrisome. And an attack on Sochi will more than likely prove to be larger in scale.

Honestly I hope nothing happens in Sochi just for the Chechen people's sake alone. The FSB and GRU will have no mercy.

This is also something to consider. I know Putin will be wanting to put on a show for foreigners but as soon as they're out of the country, the human rights issues coming out of the Caucasus will mount.

As if it would make a difference. Chechens are being murdered by the government since over a decade.

Footage of the blast (don't worry, it is not graphic, though it shows the explosion clearly).

If a mass-casualty terrorist attack happens in Sochi and it's linked to Chechens then it will be even worse.

Obviously, but it can't worsen much, short of a genocide.

My phones CNN app reported that a bus in the same city was bombed. These terrorists are monsters.

Are there any terrorists who aren't monsters?

The Congressional Republicans are terrorists in a sense, but I wouldn't quite call them monsters.

It has been suggested that these attacks are Saudi Arabia's answer to Russia's support for Assad. Considering where the Chechen terrorists get their funds from, it wouldn't be surprising.

As for the Chechens, if there are being murdered, at this point this is likely the actions of other Chechens. Putin has been quite adept at divide and rule here and the current rulers of Chechnya seem to have benefited as well, if this is any indication. If the Russian government had been as brutal in retaliating against terrorist attacks as some here seem to think, there would be a lot fewer Chechens now.

If this is the case and Russian intelligence knows it then Saudi royals living abroad should keep one eye over their shoulder.
