Correction: True, in Buinaksk and in Volgodonsk the explosives to blow up the apartment buildings were placed in trucks, but I don't think of those two incidents as "car bombings," because the purpose was to blow up buildings. (I think of a "car bombing" as a Mafia-type method of getting rid of one's enemies.)

What would you say if you were to find out that the bombings were NOT the work of "Chechen terrorists"? I hold no brief for Basayev or Khattab, but there is reason to doubt that they were responsible for these particular incidents. No proof, after all, has been presented. And there are plenty of other possible suspects. (Nine of the ten people presently being sought in connection with the bombings are from Karachaevo-Cherkessia, by the way. You may have noticed that Karachaevo-Cherkessia has been having big troubles of its own lately.)
