    All over CNN right now, current count up to 31. Russian government says "terror attack."

    No other details that I've heard.

    That is just awful. I've heard at least 31 dead. What a horrible waste.

    There are over 100 injured in addition to the dead.

    Edit: The blast occurred in the baggage claim area.

    I can only imagine what kind of ****ing hoops we are going to have to jump through now to get into the airport. They are probably going to make a perimeter with security check points that you will have to go through just to get close to the airport plus additional anal probing if you want to board a plane.


    I might as well get my one post in before the **** hits the fan in this thread. Everyone knows EXACTLY where\how it will go.

    It has been confirmed to be a "suicide bomber."

    Very curious to see where this goes. Russians are prone to be victims of violence from a lot of different groups.

    My S.O. was there just a few months ago. Another terrible act of lunacy.

    If I were a person of color in Moscow (read: any color), I'd be extremely frightened right now.

    What kind of security do they have there? Can anyone get into the baggage claim area from the outside? I know some airports you're not allowed to.

    Aren't the Chechen Muslims white?

    Pretty sure that will change now.

    It is just AWFUL. They haven't said if any Americans were killed or injured. It took place in the international baggage claim area.

    Not to sound harsh but does it matter if/how many were Americans? Innocent people lost their lives, sucks regardless of where they are from.
