Vasily Gatov from the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers believes the Caucasus terrorists are not the ones to blame for the train crash on Friday.

The crash was caused by a homemade explosive equivalent to 7 kilograms of TNT, the FSB said.

“Terrorism is always either a political proclamation or a threat. I think in this particular case Russia does not have any real war at the moment, and I would not think that the Caucasus lead that would probably be examined first at this accident is the one to follow,” Gatov says. “I would think this is more political, and I expect some political proclamations to be made on this accident.”

I think that this is not a terrorist attack. Here is my version. "Russia's Railways" not to follow the state of the rails and the accident occurred as a result. Companies had to save face and escape from the lawsuits of victims of the accident. The easiest way - to buy corrupt media. The footage, shot that your TV station in the evening there was no crater. On Russian television channels showed only morning shooting. They suddenly appeared funnel. In the end, "Russia's Railways" save face, but people once again in need of government as a defender of terorists. Won everything. Everything except the truth and the Russian people. This is only version. No evidence. Although evidence of the attack is also not clear.

It has started! I have expected the proxy angle, and all the signs are here. Remember, if certain media starts fishing by insinuating that somehow this event is some type of "test" of Russian government, that is a CLEAR CUT SIGN that a political hay is to be made, giving the criminals some form of absolution. In a carefully crafted statement, Mr. FELGENHAUER, a defense commentator for the opposition Novaya Gazeta, avers: "This is actually a very serious political blow to the present Russian regime." Imagine, with so many innocents losing their lives, or being severely injured, the political angle is by far more important. This is a serious problem with Russian immature media. Opposition should not mean ENEMY. And this is what Mr. Felgenhauer is actually doing. He sees this tragedy as only an opportunity to trash the country and the leadership. No, Mr. FELGENHAUER, this is not a very serious blow to the present Russian regime. First of all, this is Russian Government, not a "regime". This terminology is derogatory, and not worthy of an opposition at the time of national tragedy. But Mr. FELGENHAUER will learn that the people of Russian Federation, Russians or others, christians or moslems, will close their ranks in grief for the life of innocents. And then, he will complain of the "authoritarian" Russia, and "Putnism". He and his types can complain, but this kind of behaviour shows that his "opposition" could not care less for the tragedy, but will cheerfully exploit the dead for their political games. I fully expect more along these lines from certain quarters; let us see how the western media postions itself.
