Terror!


On February 6, 2004, the suicide bomber Anzor Ischaev from the Caucasus blew himself up…



... in the Moscow Metro in a crowded train between the stations "Avtozavodskaya "and "Paveletskaya"...



... with a belt bomb in the air The bomb has an explosive force of 4 kg of TNT, the devastation is incredible!





41 Menschen werden getötet, über 250 verletzt.











As the security service FSB later determined, the assassin came from Circassia, converted to Islam and then belonged to the armed Chechen underground forces.

The Muscovites mourn.

What begins with individual statements...





… soon leads to massive expressions of grief and sympathy for the victims.

Today, a memorial plaque at the Avtozavodskaya metro station commemorates the victims.

 
What did it achieve? More animosity, same as the bombing on the London Underground. These extremists don't believe in dialogue.

Our guide in Moscow took us on the Metro to see this memorial, as well as viewing some of the iconic stations ordered by Stalin (to cheer up the workers on their way to their jobs).
