The Terrorist Bombing in Moscow’s Airport
On January 26, a terrible bombing happened in Moscow’s Domodedovo airport. Officials believe that it was set off by a suicide bomber in the arrivals hall. As of January 24th, thirty-five people have been reported dead and 100 people have been reported injured. Two of the people announced dead were Britons. This bombing occurred at Russia’s most used airport. There is lots of footage showing smoke and dead bodies everywhere. They believe that the equal amount of TNT would be seven kg in the bomb. That’s fifteen pounds! Russian TV's Vesti news program tells that the suicide bomber yelled, “I’ll kill you all” before lighting the bomb.
Russia’s President, Dmitry Mendvedev, had extra security all across the capital and promised that whoever was behind this, would be hunted down and penalized. There was also mention of the Dagestan Region subway stop bombing in Russia’s capital. Two female suicide bombers were the cause of this bombing. They killed forty people and injured even more than eighty people.
Since the explosion, all departing flights have been canceled and all arriving flights have changed destinations to Moscow's Sheremetevo airport. Russian police are looking for three people associated with the bombing. The British Prime Minister states that, “We should never allow the terrorists to win”.
