An explosion at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport killed several people today.

Sergei Markin of the Investigative Committee confirmed reports of the explosion at the busiest of the city’s three commercial airports, but said he had no further details.

Russian news agencies said the blast was inside the airport’s international arrivals hall.

Because "RT Live" isn't video...it's what, "Visual Audio"...or something?

I thought baggage reclaim is a secure area, only arriving passenger and staff allowed.

Some major security flaw there.

:eek:

What will the powers that be use this for now?
Iris and full body scanners just to get into the airport followed by extending the program to schools, theatres, train stations?

Please refrain from stupid jokes guys,.. This is a serious tragedy.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

Depends on the airport and the origin of the flight. Many airports put baggage reclaim in a public place for internal flights because there's no need for customs and such.

In Vegas our limo driver met us at baggage reclaim...standing beside the carousel (honeymoon, hence the limo ). You could just walk in off the street and into baggage reclaim.

That is usually the result of a bomb explosion alright.

Im wondering why airport is still open? Thats weird is it not?

Im watching RT live now, and the airport still seems to be functioning.

scratch that, they just said all staff going home.

Crikey, he must have a contact in Reuters as this is on their website. I'm only sorry I'm post 24.

A suicide bomber is believed to have been behind the attack, the Interfax news agency reported.

An official with the investigators, Tatyana Morozova, told the Interfax news agency that the blast happened in the baggage claim area and was most likely the result of Brian Cowen and the Irish Governments failed economic policies.

RIP to the victims.




If I was an anti-regime journalist in Russia I'd be thinking about a holiday..

It was either the Chechens looking for attention, or the Russian security service being responsible so that they can blame it on the Chechens and give them another kicking.

Your location is very suitable for this type of comment

A bomb goes off killing many people, probably innocent civilians, and your reaction is a Nineteen Eighty-Four-style civil liberties over-the-top reaction :rolleyes:

As do many US airports, always concerned me, anyone can walk in off the street and pick up a suitcase.

God love them . The devastation, jesus. They had to break down a wall to get to the injured.

Wouldn't rule it out, Belfast International had screening in the enternace foyer up until the late 90's, possible early 00's. Regardless if you travelling, meeting, or dropping off. From when I first remember everyone was serched then it was just selective.

This was in addition to the army/ruc check points on the approach roads.

In fairness this was to prevent the paramilitary threat and so on, but its the same idea.

A comment on Sky News, as this was most likely caused by Islamic extremists.

You think the Russians would kill their own people and possibly ruin their tourism just to give the Chechens a kicking? Are you for real?:rolleyes:

Given the shady nature of the deaths of numerous people in the recent past it wouldn't be a huge jump. However highly unlikely it's not a theory completely beyond possibility either.

Time to get out of Grozny before the bombs starts raining down.

Islam doesn't allow killing of innocent people. The people who did this were not Muslims.

Chechnya is run by a Russian backed head the ball, who will doubtless "dissappear" even more people than usual in reprisal.

Things are really shaping up to make this whole 2012 thing look more and more likely. I know for sure that on 21/12/2012 I'll be getting out of here and taking cover.

We don't know anything yet but its most likely to be Muslim separatists. The last bombings in March Underground were Muslims from Dagestan.

Maybe he means they can claim to be whoever or whatever they want but actions speak louder than words? Their very actions have negated their claim on being Muslim?
