This terrorist act does have a Chechen footprint but ...we should not point finger at anyone before is find a proof-evidence wich show beyond any doubt who is the quilty party! We shall not ever punish innorcent one-so proof must be in place! Russia is not West,so they will try to do just that-find a proof who is responsible...Im shock by this terrorist act...Its a sad day for humanity!I agree with commens of Artyom and Sarah-true supporters of terrorism must be EXPOSED and I will add-PUNISH without mercy no matter who they are! The roots of terrorism have to be cut deep in the states who are true supporters....Thanke you!

I am more than certain that Russia’s security forces have some idea who might be offering support to Chechen terrorists. These entities and nations must be exposed. Russia needs multiple strategies if is to win over determined terrorists. Those who provide them with finance and ideological support must be identified and confronted.
