Russians bust ring of terrorists
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news
NBC News reports that the Russians busted up a ring of terrorists in Moscow who had several suicide vests and other explosives. They got 15 of them, including one who studied in Arab countries (I know it’s shocking isn’t it) then moved to Moscow and created a terrorist cell.
At-Takfir Wal-Hijra is a radical Islamist group founded in the 1960s in Egypt by a Palestinian, Shoukri Mostafa. It has carried out targeted assassinations, notably a former government minister in 1977.
All of those detained were from Russia’s southern provinces of Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kalmitiya, or from the neighboring countries of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, police said.
Fourteen were held in one raid in the east of Moscow on Tuesday night, according to Russian state news agency Interfax, while another suspect was detained early Wednesday.
I guess in Russia they don’t need folks to gin up a terrorist attack. Thanks to Pinto Nag for the link.

What I find odd is that we are hearing about raids like this in other countries (Russia, England, etc.) but not here, and certainly not 15 caught at one time. Why aren’t we hearing about these type of raids HERE? Our law enforcement agencies are chasing and catching terrorists here, aren’t they? That’s not news-worthy, or what?
It’s not pc, PintoNag, not to do it or to talk about it.
The kid in Chicago who was busted by the FBI for planting a bomb whined that he’d been ‘profiled’ because he was a muslim, when in fact, he’d been tracked down because of what he posted online.
If it was here Obama would have released them, kissed their ass and sent them a new prayer rug.
Just a guess but these guys will probably be tried, convicted, and sentenced before BIG ARMY concludes its review of the status of that murdering bastard Hasan from perpetrator of workplace violence to terrorist.
@3, that, and after the LE Agency was busted out for “profiling”, the critters would probably be given a free trip to Mecca!
No one really gets this but the Russians have been dealing w/ this for years.
That footage looks like something you’d see on America’s Most Wanted.
@1 PintoNag: Oh, it’s newsworthy but just does not fit the narrative they want going out right now. In all likelihood they don’t want the hoi polloi to have another good reason why our Second Amendment rights should not be further restricted by the government.
