On the eve of metro explosions militia received warnings
On Sunday, March 28, a woman called the Moscow militia and said that an explosion may happen in the metro prepared by residents of Chechnya. Employees of the GUVD (Chief Interior Department) with dogs searched the Konkovo metro station but found nothing.
Let us remind you that the explosions at the Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations of the Moscow metro happened today at 7:56 and 8:40 a.m. Moscow time accordingly. Under the latest data, they killed 38 persons and wounded 65 more.
On Sunday, a woman-resident of Moscow called to 02 at 5:36 p.m. and said that she was at Konkovo metro station and heard certain residents of Chechnya saying that explosions would be committed in Moscow metro. Girls were among those who talked. After the call, GUVD employees examined the Konkovo station with special dogs, but no explosives were found.
As reported by the "Interfax" with reference to its source in law enforcement bodies and latest data, the operative-investigatory group in charge of inquiring the metro explosions possesses video records of both terror acts and knows precisely how the terrorists and their helpers looked like.
The cars of the "Krasnaya Strela" (Red Arrow) metro train model, where one of the explosions was triggered, are equipped with permanent video monitoring facilities, from which power agents could retrieve exact images of terrorists, and, having studied other records from other video monitoring cameras installed in other station vestibules and overpasses of the Moscow metro, they managed to establish the appearance of the accomplices who accompanied the suicide-bombers.
The "LifeNews" reports with reference to some sources that two women of Caucasian appearance, who had prayed in Semyonovskaya station shortly before the terror acts are searched now on suspicion of preparing a series of explosions in the metro of the Russian capital.
Soon after the terror acts in Moscow metro two Moslem women were beaten. As reported by an eyewitness of the incident on air of the "Echo Moskvy" Radio, two women "dressed in scarves" entered the metro train car at Avtozavodskaya station, and soon after the train started they were attacked by one of passengers.
Meanwhile, an opinion has already appeared that one of the reasons of what happened was the criticism of MIA workers, recently announced by mass media. Thus, blogger Boris Yakemenko wrote in LJ pages that nongovernmental mass media discredit the militia, "at the same time demanding from them to defend the order." According to his version, the continuation of such policy may be in "explosions and violence," and the result - "destruction and liquidation of the country."
