Neil MacFarlane was quoted on Reuterss website concerning the possible aftermath of the suicide bomb that killed 35 people in Moscows Domodedovo airport yesterday.
Neil said, These would likely (but not necessarily) be Islamists from the Northern Caucasus. If so, yet another example of the proposition that success in Chechnya has generated a more diffuse and dangerous threat.
He added, The consequences? More abuse of people of Caucasian origin in Moscow and elsewhere in Russia...more intense military/police response in the region will make the problem more severe rather than less, because of the methods that are likely to be employed, and the obligation to revenge.
