"Can we get a cleaning crew to the south terminal to collect bodies? We don't want to delay Lufthansa's 9:57 Moscow-to-Hanover flight. Also, please ask the injured to move to the sides of the concourse so there's room for passengers to pass. Thanks!"edit on 24-1-2011 by zuul000 because: (no reason given)

Mossad anyone? false flag attacks by them are quite common.
To be honest, Israel's government is used to blows from the Russians, even some below the belt. A few months ago, during a visit to Damascus, Medvedev found time to meet with Hamas' politburo chief, Khaled Meshal, a short while after Lieberman had visited Moscow.
One could also argue that the slap did not sting quite as much as the Palestinians would have liked, since the Soviet Union recognized Palestine 22 years ago. This followed the declaration of independence made by the Palestinian National Council in Algiers and the declaration by King Hussein of Jordan that the Hashemite Kingdom was relinquishing the West Bank.
But at that time, the Soviet Union was part of a group whose other members were all either Muslim countries or relatively unimportant states already known to be pro-Arab. Back then, the phrase "a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders whose capital is East Jerusalem" was considered by the rest of the world, and especially the United States and Europe, to be almost delusional, completely disconnected from reality.
Now Russia is part of the Quartet of Middle East peacemakers, most of whose decisions are reached by consensus. Normally, its members are careful not to diverge from agreed policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But today, the establishment of a Palestinian state on the basis of the 1967 borders, with agreed exchanges of territory, is considered by the entire world to be the sole formula for resolving the conflict.
It was just a matter of time before the epidemic of recognizing Palestine within the 1967 borders went beyond the borders of Latin America. The only question was which country would be the first to join Brazil and its neighbors. Now, the question is which will be the first European Union country to follow suit. Will it be Spain, France, Cyprus or Malta?

How is it that within three hours of the incident the authorities have conveniently found enough forensic evidence to pin down the source of the explosion, the precise nature of the device, the amount and type of explosives used and the identity of the perpetrator?
I'm not saying it didn't go down like that, but there seems to be a knee-jerk reaction going on...
"An Arab amongst the dead? It must be the bomber right?"
Operatives of any nationality can be present at any location at a convenient time; possibly even not knowing the real reason they've been sent to collect a package/ meet someone off a flight...
"Hiya - that placard has my name on it! Are you Ali, my chauffer? Did Stan send you? Great! Just hold my bag while I nip to the gents..."
I do genuinely feel terrible for the victims and their family/ friends. There's also a massive impact on the immediate society within which such an incident occurs, and I just hope there's a sensible and balanced investigation into what really happened before anyone starts throwing stones around (German TV = ... )
If you find feet and a head but the rest of the body is gone it implies the bomb was strapped around tha individual. Holding a bag would have a different pattern of remains. Also possibley they have video footage from a camera of the bomb going off. That would show them ground zero and maybe facial features of the bomber.

In case of The First Chechen War, you are right, Russians are to blame.
