[RwandaLibre] Terrorism = a bloody form of communication.

Why the Sochi Games have made all of Russia a target for terrorists

Maclean's; - 4 hrs ago

Update: On Jan. 9, investigators were looking into the unexplained
killings of six men, whose bodies were found in four cars in the
Caucasus Mountains region. Bombs were also placed near three of those
cars, investigators said, though only one detonated. Pyatigorsk, the
city where the six men's bodies were found, is also relatively close
to Sochi, just 300 km by air.

Terrorism, it is said, can be understood as a bloody form of
communication, and at least some messages in late December's bombings
in Volgograd, Russia, were chillingly clear. The insurgents based in
the North Caucasus are back at war—obviously— and, in the eyes of the
terrorists, civilians in Russia's major cities are once again fair
game. The twin attacks on a train station and trolley bus claimed 34
lives in the city formerly known as Stalingrad, a place that, over the
decades, has surely seen its share of tragedy.

Unlike other recent attacks stemming from the Kremlin's battle against
Islamists in the country's bullet-riddled south, the December bombings
were meant in large measure for international consumption. And, for an
outside world looking on in horror, it took a few days for their
meaning to sink in. For months, the government of Vladimir Putin has
been pouring guns and muscle into Russia's southwestern corner to
secure history's most expensive Winter Olympics. Now, with two
alarmingly simple suicide bombings in a city nearly 700 km from the
site of the Games, the killers have sent a paroxysm of fear around the
globe anyway. Pictures of the bus, its roof peeled back from the force
of the blast, bodies lying all around, consumed newscasts. Moscow's
shiny-happy message about Sochi being the safest Olympics ever (more
than 600 facilities under guard!) was quickly lost in the din.
