As I'm sure you've all heard this afternoon in Moscow's busiest airport a bomber walked right in and set off an explosive device, according to eyewitnesses and Russian officials. As of right now Russian sources report 21 people dead and over 150 wounded in the attack. Russian President Medvedev denounced the act as one of terrorism, and police are working on identifying the suicide bomber, the NY Times reports.
Domodedovo Airport is Mscow's largest and busiest airport. Live updates on the incident can be seen on Huffington Post.
The blast will likely be linked to insurgents Caucasus region. Rebel groups have been targeting Russia since before the fall of the Soviet Union. This action will likely give Prime Minister and all-around pimp, Vladamir Putin, more power to combat terrorist networks within Russia. The craziest part of this story is that the airport stayed open tonight, some delays were a result but officials did not shut down the airport. Business as usual in Russia I guess.
