BBC Article

Many killed in Moscow festival blasts
Up to 20 people have been killed in a series of explosions at a rock concert at the Tushino airfield in north-western Moscow, Russian news agencies say.

Police sources suggest that two suicide bombers may have been responsible.

There are reports that three blasts going off, the first at 1439 local time (10:52 GMT) on Saturday.

The BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Moscow said police were saying that two women detonated explosives belts when they were stopped by guards at the festival entrance.

Two further blasts were reported, one at a nearby market.

Rescue teams have been flown in by helicopter and hospitals were preparing to take in the wounded.

Terror fears

About 40,000 people were at the "Krylya" (Wings) festival which is a popular summer event for young music fans in Moscow.

There have been heightened fears of attacks by Chechen militants since the hostage siege at a Moscow theatre last year.

That resulted in the death of 129 hostages and 41 guerrillas after Russian special forces used noxious gas to disable the hostage-takers.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for this attack but our correspondent says connection with Chechnya will be high on people's minds.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been informed of the incident.

It's a triple, not double suicide bombing.

I'm really worried... there really may be more bombings there now.

"not known where did the third blast occur. Possibly among the viewers".

Concert still caries on to avoid panic. Many more wounded seen, apparently, than reported. Some people are being evacuated.

It "betrays" all I think about the Islamic religion: that it sucks. Just like every other religion. But somehow, it's wrong to diss religious Islamists, when it's fully ok to diss religious christians and jews. I think all people that are religious and socially conservative to the point of being anally retentive deserve my ridicule. I am not planning to give Islam any breaks on this.

That must mean you dislike Judaism for the use of terrorism in the creation of the state of Israel and Christianity for the attacks on abortion clinics, etc.

As long as we're agreeing with Azazel and condemning whole religions because people happen to betray its core precepts, I just figured I'd grab a few more condemnations out of you.

Azazel, you do realize that the first suicide bombers in the Middle East were Jews, right? And you do realize that there are terrorists attacks between Christians in Ireland, right?

There are crazy fundamentalists in all religions, and it's wrong to denounce an entire religion because there happen to be some lunatics within that religion.

True, but in the case of Islam, there seem to be large portions of the faithful being held hostage by fundamentalism outside of the West.

There was a UN study recently which measured the impact this was having. Education and access to technology were especially compromised.

True, but this isn't a purely Islamic thing. Go back to the Middle Ages, when the Catholic Church ruled supreme; same thing was happening there.

Both institutions were wrong to do what they did.
