>>Explosives found in Russian cinema
(Filed: 09/09/2004)

Police have found explosives, home-made bombs and a gun in a cinema in Russia's second city St Petersburg.

The discovery was made in the city's Progess cinema, which has been closed for renovation for the past six months.

The Interfax news agency has reported that prior to the discovery, three men from Kazakhstan were arrested who were in possession of four Kalashinkov rifles.

The arrest, by organised crime squad detectives, suggests that the weapons could be related to criminal gangs.

The country has been on a state of high alert following the recent terrorist attacks on a Beslan school, which killed more than three hundred, and two suicide bombings on flights within Russia.

Maybe the problems are tough to sort out, especially from a distance, but they're going to have to be sorted out, because this MO is going to spread.

It's tit-for-tat, the Russians engage in atrocities, the Chechens fight back with terror.

The Chechen cause has been hijacked. The surviving hostages say the terrorists were Ingush. Whatever the terrorists said, this atrocity was done by someone who wants a war between Ossetia and Ingushetia. Besayev, whose goal is a Caucasian caliphate, wants such a war.
