There have been two linked suicide bombing in the Russian city of Volgograd, formely known as Stalingrad.
Theses bombings killed 31 dead. Both occurred within 24 hours of each other. Terror experts say that the attacks were inspired, possibly even ordered by Chechen Muslim leader Doku Umarov. He said, "Satanic dancing on the bones of our ancestors," referring to the Winter Olympics being played in Sochi, Russia. Sochi is 400 miles southwest of Volgograd. There has been a lot of contention between Chechen Muslims and Moscow due to a dispute of who's land is whose. Russian president Vladimir Putin has already deployed thousands of troops and created a security zone that extends miles beyond Sochi. Though there are experts that say the terrorists are probably already inside the security zone. These same experts say it would be shocking if there wasn't a attack during the Olympics but it would be difficult for it to be on a large scale.

I find this a very daunting and chilling developing situation. The fact that experts are saying that a terrorist attack at the games is inevitable is scary. This is just another example of problems between two different groups of people who believe a certain area of land belongs to them. It is hard to stop terrorist attacks though. Something that also surprised me from this article was that the two suicide bombers were women. I had never heard of women terrorists. As for my opinion on this article there isn't much too have an opinion on. I will be very interested what happens regarding this through the games. I hope that nothing serious happens. I love the Olympics.
