A pair of attacks in Volgograd have underscored the security risks for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia, but the worst could be yet to come, with Chechen warlord Doku Umarov vowing to use any means possible to disrupt the games.
Umarov, dubbed “Russia’s bin Laden,” has considerable influence within militant factions in the Russian Caucasus. He had previously admonished them against attacking civilians but recently has encouraged such strikes, citing the Olympics.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has told Russia that the US would offer military support for counterterrorism operations related to the games, though it remains unlikely Russia will take them up on the offer.
Across the world, there’s been major concern that this year’s Olympics will be one of the most dangerous on record, though Russian officials continue to insist that they have the situation well in hand.
Vlad, eliminate this bastard, and soon.
Bear-baiting is a very hazardous pastime.
"Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has told Russia that the US would offer military support for counterterrorism operations"
Quite preposterous and cynical isnt´t? I mean this comes from a typical US-regime criminal from a regime that is and has been supporting, arming, training and also harbouring these wahhabi "freedom fighters" in southern Russia since the 80´s. One of their "biggest hits" lately was the Beslan school massacre where the US also reportedly assisted with the planning, the theatre in Moscow and these two latest in Volgograd. Mighty Vlad will of course ignore the insult and retaliate when the right opportunity arises, and it sure will. Meanwhile they have installed a double sonar system outside the Sochi shoreline probably because this is how US/NATO shipped in their Wahhabi freaks to Tripoli in Libya while the surroundings where otherwise impenetrable….
Paid for by Saudi Arabia.
Can't help but think of what happened in Boston.
