RUSSIA:

Discovered Bomb Appears To Be A Hoax

As reported here yesterday, Russian security officials said that it appears that the discovery of what looked like powerful explosives set to blow up a 12-story apartment building in western Russia may have been a prank. A resident of an apartment building in the city of Ryazan called police on Wednesday night, claiming to have seen people hauling large sacks from a car whose license plates were covered up. Police searched the building and found the sacks in a basement. Connected to one of the sacks was what looked like a timer set to go off at around dawn on Friday. The building was evacuated.

An initial investigation indicated the sacks contained sugar mixed with the explosive hexogen -- the same material police say was used in the previous bombings. Both the appearance of the device and the basement location. were similar to the earlier attacks. However, a sample of the substance taken from the sacks failed to blow up during a test by explosives experts in Ryazan. The white mixture and the suspected detonator were sent to Moscow for an analysis by the Federal Security Service -- whose experts said there appeared to be no hexogen, and the suspected timer seemed to be a dummy.

Bizarre Twist To Russian Bomb Hoax Story

By C. L. Staten

In what can only be described as a most bizarre twist, the Reuters News service is now reporting that the Russia's FSB security service apologized Friday for planting a dummy bomb to test alertness in a country already shaken by a wave of explosions that have killed up to 300 people. Nikolai Patrushev, head of the FSB domestic security agency, allegedly told NTV television that three sacks filled with what looked like explosive and a timing device were planted in an apartment block in the city of Ryazan to test people's vigilance. "It was a security training exercise. The sacks contained only sugar, there were no explosives inside,'' he reportedly said.

One ERRI counter-terrorism analyst, who asked not to be identified, said of this latest report, "This situation, if proven truthful, is absolutely idiotic...you do not conduct a drill in a country that is already in a state of near panic, and then let it become public in this way...whomever thought this one up deserves to lose his job or more." "This blunder of a 'drill' calls the entire series of bombings, and the possible identity of the actual perpetrators, into great question."

Russians Bomb Grozny

Russian warplanes continue to bomb the Chechen capital Grozny on Friday as the war against Moslem rebels in the region continues. According to an eyewitness, two warplanes flew over the capital releasing bombs before another flight of two aircraft did the same a short time later. Grozny airport has been bombed in an air campaign launched by Russia to disable rebels pushing to claim their own state. In a news report on Friday, Russia announced it will only attack targets it believes are of help to Moslem rebels who have launched attacks on Dagestan out of Chechnya. The rebels are also accused of being behind bomb attacks in Russia which have killed nearly 300 people.

RUSSIA: Authorities in Ryazan, Russia said that they defused another large bombing on Wednesday night. The device, with timer set for early Thursday morning, was located in an apartment building basement. Apparently, police were tipped off by a citizen, who claimed to see people moving "large sacks" of materials into a building. The sacks allegedly contained hexogen, the same explosive believed used in a series of deadly bombs that have struck Russia in recent weeks. 

In contradiction to this early Associated Press (AP) report, the Cable News Network (CNN) is reporting, late this morning, that "no explosives were found" at the apartment building and that the alleged device may have been "a hoax." At 14:04EDT, the Associated Press further confirmed that the device in Ryazan was probably some sort of hoax.  

In another related matter, a small explosive device is reported to have exploded in a Russian apartment building today - this time in St Petersburg. The Itar-Tass news agency says that an explosion tore through an elevator in the building. No casualties or damage have so far been reported.  St. Petersburg police are said to be investigating a series of bomb threat calls that they received so far on Thursday. Few other details were immediately available.

ERRI analysts say that that they believe that Thursday's bomb hoaxes may be "domestic (Russian)" in nature and that they could be the result of political or organized crime attempts to capitalize on the other, larger terror blasts.  Russian authorities say that they blame the string of explosions on rebels from the break-away republic of Chechnya and international supporters, including fighters associated with Usama Bin Laden. An major investigation into this entire matter continues.

RUSSIA:

Prime Minister Warns Of Foreign Muslim Extremists

Kremlin leaders are saying that Muslim extremists from the Arab world are entering the Moslem North Caucasus region of Russia to foment a war against Russia that has brought terror to Moscow itself. According to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, their aim is to spread rebellion through the turbulent and ethnically diverse Caucasus region and seize control of the territory running along Russia's southern borders.

In a television interview on Sunday, Putin said that the fighting in Dagestan has threatened to rekindle the Chechnya war, and he accused "some reactionary circles in some Moslem countries" of trying to exploit the region's power vacuum. He said: "The idea arose to use Chechnya as a virtual Caucasian dagger to slice Russia like a piece of butter and set up some kind of a theocratic state ... from the Caspian to the Black Sea."

On Monday, the Itar-Tass news agency said master terrorist Usama bin Laden was sending some 100 armed Arab fighters from Afghanistan, where he is based, to help Islamic militants in the North Caucasus. The agency, quoting Russian security sources, said the unit was to be sent in response to a request from a certain "Khattab," a Jordanian- or Saudi-born guerrilla Moscow says has been helping to lead North Caucasus insurgency for some time.

Some independent Russian analysts think Putin's claim of a foreign-directed conspiracy is over-stated. Sergo Mikoyan of the Institute of World Economy and International relations in Moscow said: "I think the main actors are the Chechen commanders. But of course, they have financial and moral support from some Islamic countries. I think that Mr Putin is trying to exploit the war in order to strengthen his own authority and prestige ahead of next year's presidential elections."

RUSSIA:

Prime Suspect In Moscow Bombings Named

Russian security services said on Friday they have identified the alleged ringleader of a group of terrorists from the North Caucasus that is reportedly behind the series of explosions of apartment buildings in Moscow, and possibly those in other cities. An Interior Ministry spokesman said the prime suspect wanted by the authorities is Achimed Gochiyayev, who, together with his partner Denis Saitakov underwent training in Chechnya and, using an assumed identity, rented basements in buildings where explosives were planted by a Chechen team.

 Ten men have been placed on Russia's most wanted list in connection with the blasts. A sketch of Gochiyayev and a photograph of Saitakov have been broadcast on national television at regular intervals. Until recently, Gochiyayev used the documents of a Mr. Laipanov, who police say was killed in a car accident in Stavropol region in southern Russia in February. Gochiyayev, under the name of Laipanov, is known to have rented basements in both Moscow buildings that were later blown up.

Russian Air Force Attacks Targets In Chechnya

The Russian air force launched several overnight strikes against suspected guerrilla bases in the breakaway republic of Chechnya. Military officials said on Saturday that the bombing was ordered to prevent an impending raid of Chechen guerrillas into neighboring Dagestan. Federal forces were massing in the Dagestani towns of Kizylar, Khasavyurt and Babayurt after intelligence reports indicated that guerrilla groups were preparing to attack Russian bases in Dagestan.

Officials Say St Petersburg Blast Not Linked To Other Bombings 

Russian authorities on Friday said there is no link between Thursday's bombing in the city of St Petersburg with the bomb attacks that have been taking place in Moscow and southern Russia. The deputy head of the St Petersburg police department, Nikolai Yegorov, said: "This explosion is in no way connected with the series of terrorist acts in other citites and is most likely the result of a criminal settling of accounts."

Yegorov said that none of the residents of the apartment building seemed to have criminal links and said that the device might have been placed there by mistake. A police explosives expert said on Friday that the blast was equivalent to almost 11 pounds of TNT. It was much smaller in scale and effect than four bomb explosions in Russia since 31 August, which have killed almost 300 people and caused near panic across Russia.

RUSSIA:

St Petersburg Apartment Explosion Kills Two

The Russian Emergencies Ministry said that two people were killed and four others were wounded when an explosive device went off at an apartment door in a St Petersburg apartment building. The blast, which damaged three apartments, did not immediately appear to be linked to recent bomb explosions in Moscow and southern Russia, in which 300 people were killed. The device looked to be equivalent to six or nine pounds of TNT. The blast occurred at 23:39 hours, St. Petersburg time (19:39 GMT).

The explosive device went off at the doors of an apartment on the seventh floor, badly damaging a stairway between the sixth and the eighth floor and one inner wall. The subsequent fire also damaged two apartments on the sixth and the eighth floor. It was put out within an hour. An Emergencies Ministry spokesman said experts from the FSB domestic security service were working at the scene to establish the exact nature of the blast.

More Than Three Tons Of Explosives Found In A Moscow Suburb

Police on Thursday said they found more than three tons of explosives in a Moscow suburb - even as the authorities were responding to the latest in a series of apartment bombings to hit Russia. Seventeen people were killed and more than 100 people injured when a truck bomb destroyed an apartment building in Volgodonsk near Russia's volatile northern Caucasus region.

The discovered cache of explosives was found hidden among sacks of sugar from a plant in southern Russia. Six timing devices were also reportedly found. Police said Thursday's blast was estimated to be 660-770 pounds of TNT in size, but explosives experts have not yet determined what chemicals were used. In other related news, police detained two suspects in connection with the deadly apartment blasts in Moscow, and authorities are pressing ahead with a security sweep on Friday in a bid to halt a wave of explosions in Russia.

Another Russian Explosion; Reported in Volgadonsk

Volgadonsk, Russia -- Early and largely unconfirmed reports are starting to come in of another major explosion in Russia. According to the Associated Press, a large blast struck in the early morning hours in Volgadonsk, which is located near the southern republic of Dagestan, where Russian troops have been battling Islamic militants for the past month.

The Russian Interfax news agency is saying that authorities believe that a car/truck bomb exploded next to a nine-story apartment building, causing extensive damage and killing "multiple people." At least six people were believed killed and that death toll is expected to rise. Following a pattern similar to that of recent explosions in Russia, the blast reportedly took place in the early morning hours (06:00 local time- 03:00 GMT) as people slept....a horrendous tactic, believed by ERRI counter-terrorist analysts, to be designed to increase the death toll in this deadly series of bombings.  Details continue to flow in and Emergencynet News will provide additional reports as more becomes available...  

06:30CDT - 16 Sep 99 - Instant Update

According to authorities in Russia, at least 17 people have been reported killed and another 115 injured, many seriously in the latest bombing to strike the country in the past few weeks. A major investigation is underway to determine who the perpetrators might be in this latest deadly blast.

RUSSIA:

Major Anti-Terrorist Operation Being Implemented?

Russia's interior minister and armed forces chief of staff flew to the North Caucasus on Wednesday, and Interfax news agency said they were to oversee a major anti-terrorist operation. There were no details about what the operation might entail.

Russian PM Calls For Cordon Around Chechnya

Saying that a defensive cordon might be needed around the rebel region of Chechnya, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that those behind two bomb blasts this month in Moscow were "international saboteurs." Putin told the State Duma (lower house of parliament): "It is obvious that in Dagestan and in Moscow the fighters are not independent, but well trained international saboteurs." 

Police in Moscow on Tuesday, dramatically increased security after a bomb on Monday wrecked an eight-story apartment building, killing 121 people at latest count. This brought the death toll to 277 in the past ten days after a similar attack on an apartment building last Thursday, another in Dagestan and a smaller bomb in a shopping mall on 31 August. Russian officials have said Chechen-led guerrillas in Dagestan are receiving financial and other help from master terrorist Usama bin Laden. 

Putin said Russia had to destroy strongholds of  gunmen in Dagestan and seal off Chechnya. He called for a "temporary, but tough regime of quarantine" around the break-away region. Putin said: "In Chechnya we have a territory which specializes in terrorism, in the trade of drugs, people, weapons, and the use of money from the federal center. We have to put in place there a special economic regime."

RUSSIA

UP TO 40 KILLED IN LATEST MOSCOW BOMBING

Up to at least 40 people were reported killed when bomb destroyed an eight-story apartment building in suburban Moscow on Monday. An entire building containing 64 apartment units, home to 120 people, was razed by Monday's blast. Four people were pulled alive from the wrecked building soon after the blast at 0500 hours Moscow time (0100 GMT) Monday but since then only corpses had been found. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said: "This was a clear terrorist attack."

No one has claimed responsibility for Monday's explosion or for any of the previous ones, which also include a bomb in a shopping mall in central Moscow on 31 August which killed one woman and injured dozens more and another apartment building bombing last week that left 94 people dead.

Russian officials ordered increased security in key cities across Russia and at nuclear plants, fuel depots and other sensitive sites. Putin said Russia would undertake unspecified "super-tough" measures against the terrorists.

The second explosion in less than a week fueled rumors that the Kremlin was about to introduce a state of emergency in Moscow and other parts of Russia, a move that would cast into doubt a parliamentary election scheduled for December. But a Kremlin source said a meeting of security officials did not discuss such an option. Full details of the boosted security measures agreed were not immediately available.

RUSSIA

Bomb Blast In Moscow

At least 20 people were killed and dozens of others are still unaccounted for after a huge explosion ripped apart a nine-story apartment building in Moscow on Thursday. Rescue workers said more than 60 people were wounded with serious injuries after being pulled from the wreckage. Up to 100 people could be buried under the mounds of debris. Latest reports indicate that the blast was caused by a bomb. In a statement, the Federal Security Service said: "The nature of the damage and the number of casualties" suggests an explosive device was placed in the building. Sergei Shoigu, head of the Emergency Situations Ministry, said: "It does not look like gas."

An anonymous caller told the Interfax news agency that the Moscow explosion and a Saturday night bomb blast in southern Russia were in response to Russia's military campaign against Islamic rebels in the southern territory of Dagestan. There was no way to determine the authenticity of the claim.

The powerful explosion shook the southeast Moscow neighborhood shortly after midnight. Early on Wednesday, more than 100 rescuers were combing the wreckage for survivors. The blast completely collapsed all nine stories in the center section of the block-long building, but it left apartments standing on either side. Some people living in neighboring buildings were injured by flying glass and debris. Several bodies were hurled more than 30 yards from the building. Sixty ambulances and 45 pieces of fire equipment were sent to the scene.

Bin Laden supporting Rebels In Dagestan?

Russian television on Wednesday raised the specter that the threat of Islamic militants in the North Caucasus region could be more serious than first thought. Russian state-owned RTR television quoted a U.S. report to Congress as saying Islamic radical Usama bin Laden was providing funds, supplies and training for the Chechen-led rebels. Russian news agencies earlier said bin Laden had donated US$25 million to the rebels.

ERRI risk analyst Steve Macko on Wednesday observed: "Some of this may be starting to make sense. In recent weeks, we have seen a dramatic increase in militant actions in Jammu and Kashmir, Dagestan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzebakistan -- could it be that bin Laden is behind this? What we do know is the Taliban in Afghanistan is coming under increasing pressure to do something about bin Laden. He's a hot potato that they'd like to get rid of. No other country in the world wants him. So, bin Laden thinks to himself ... 'Where am I going to go?' How about if he gets his supporters to carve out their own country in some of these areas that may be vulnerable? It's a possibility."

RUSSIA

Who Was Responsible For Apartment Building Bombing?

Russian security officials said that the explosion that killed at least 32 people at an apartment building in Moscow was caused by a powerful bomb.

More than 150 people were wounded in the blast at the nine-story building in the southeast of the city. Russia's Federal Security Service said that a preliminary investigation suggested a "industrial explosive device" or "a large amount of pyrotechnic devices" were to blame. It said the explosive power was equivalent to 300-400 kilos of TNT. Initial suggestions that a gas leak might have been responsible have been ruled out.

If confirmed as a bomb, it would be the third such attack in Russia in the past ten days. The time of Thursday's explosion was 0012 hours local time. The blast led to the collapse of two sections of the building. Between the ground and the third floors, 108 apartments were destroyed.

There are a few possible suspects who would be responsible for the bombing. Criminal gangs in Russia are increasingly well-armed and ruthless and have used car-bombs to blow up their enemies for a number of years. So, it is possible that someone in the apartment building was the victim of a mafia assassination.

Political extremist groups have also been suspected of staging a series of acts of terror recently that include blowing up a statue of the last tsar Nicholas II and the still unsolved murder of the popular liberal politician Galina Starovoitova.

But most analysts are making a connection with the events in Dagestan, where Islamist guerrillas are fighting Russian forces. There is supporting evidence for that from both the Russian news agency Interfax and the German radio station Deutsche Welle, who have both reported that a man with a Caucasian accent had telephoned claiming responsibility.

There are several thousand militants currently fighting the Russians in the southern republic of Dagestan. They are not only opposed to every- thing Moscow stands for, but also to official Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov. Over the last few weeks they have gained additional motives for revenge as Russian planes have bombed their villages in Dagestan and Chechnya and killed their comrades. That makes a North Caucasian militant, either a freelancer or someone working directly for the militants the most likely suspect at the moment.

And yet many questions still remain unanswered: Why was a bomb planted in an ordinary Moscow apartment building? What did a terrorist hope to achieve apart from creating panic in the Russian capital?

Buinaksk, Dagestan Military Housing Blast

Apartment Building Blast Kills 17; 80 Feared Buried

An explosion destroyed a five-story apartment building housing military officers in southern Russia late on Saturday night, killing at least six people, injuring about 100 others and leaving 80 feared buried in the rubble. According to news reports, there was no word on the cause of the explosion in the town of Buinaksk, located in the Caucasus Mountains republic of Dagestan.

But suspicion immediately fell on Islamic rebels: One group of rebels fought Russian troops for several weeks near the border with Chechnya last month, and others have been battling Russians for the past week in villages near Buinaksk. No one has claimed responsibility for the explosion.

Dagestani police as saying the blast caused a crater 10 feet deep and 39 feet wide. A duty police officer said police had found and defused explosives packed into a truck in another part of Buinaksk. Itar-Tass said the truck contained 220 pounds of explosives and was parked between a military hospital and another block of army flats.

Islamic Group Threatens Jihad On Kyrgyzstan A statement released by an Uzbek Islamic group has threatened "holy war" against Kyrgyzstan if its demands are not met. The group's fighters have been battling Kyrgyz government forces and holding hostages including four Japanese geologists. The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan said it wanted safe passage to Uzbekistan for its members hiding in southern Kyrgyzstan with the hostages. It also said it would only release its hostages if thousands of Moslems which it said were being held in Uzbek "camps" were set free in return. Kyrgyzstan says the gunmen holding the hostages are members of Uzbekistan's radical Moslem opposition who had been based in Ajikistan and aimed to cross north into Uzbekistan to launch a campaign of terror.

Scores Of Gunmen Stream Into Dagestan From Chechnya

It was reported that hundreds -- maybe as many as 2,000 -- of gunmen on Sunday crossed into Dagestan from the breakaway Russian region of Chechnya. Russian First Deputy Interior Minister Vladimir Kolesnikov called on television for men in the North Caucasus region to help Russian troops, joining up with local police to fight the new wave of gunmen. Russian news agencies suggested the rebels were led by Chechen commander Shamil Basayev, who headed the first invasion, or the leader of the Russian Muslim Union, Nadir Khachilayev. Russian aircraft, meanwhile, bombed existing rebel positions in two other villages. The gunmen installed themselves in the area around a year ago in an apparent attempt to form a Muslim state.

Moscow Explosion Injuries At Least 30

By C. L. Staten

At least thirty (30) people are thought to have been injured in a blast in a video arcade within the elite Manezh shopping mall in Moscow. Neither motive or cause for the explosion has been officially determined, and a police spokesman is quoted as saying that it is still unclear whether the blast was "planned or accidental." No claim of responsibility has been reported.

Speculation among international counter-terrorist analysts is presently centering on the blast being either a "terrorist act" -- possibly carried out by Muslim extremists -- or purely a criminal act, carried out by a Russian organized crime group. A third, mostly unconfirmed theory, places the blame on political opponents of Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who is known as a prime supporter of the mall where the explosion occurred. Russian officials are quoted by the Associated Press (AP) as denying any "internal political connection" to the explosion. According to the ITAR-Tass news agency a criminal investigation has been begun.

Explosion At Moscow Mall Wounds 41

At least 41 people were reported wounded by a bomb that exploded in a showplace Moscow shopping center next door to the Kremlin on Tuesday. The mall is at the heart of the city, yards from key tourists sites such as Red Square and Lenin's mausoleum. The mayor of Moscow called the blast "a terrorist act." The bomb exploded in an amusement arcade on the lowest level of the three-story underground Manezh Square shopping complex, injuring five people seriously. Despite the mayor's comment, bomb attacks are also often used in Russia to settle disputes between rival criminal gangs. Interfax news agency quoted security sources as saying Kremlin security was tightened ten minutes after the blast.

On Wednesday, it was revealed that a self-proclaimed revolutionary group protesting growing consumerism in Russia claimed responsibility for the bombing. The Federal Security Service said it had found a note at the scene that claimed a "union of revolutionary writers" carried out the blast to fight consumerism. The note said: "Acts like those taken today create a social engine which is still experimental but is gradually becoming a real social factor. A hamburger not eaten to the end by the dead consumer is a revolutionary hamburger. Consumers: We don't like your way of life, and it's unsafe for you." Russian officials said they had not heard of the group before. The investigation into the blast was also focusing on possible political or organized crime involvement.

Police Detain Suspect In Moscow Bombing

According to Moscow radio reports, police have arrested a man in connection with Tuesday night's bomb blast at a shopping center near the Kremlin that wounded 41 people. Interior Ministry sources named the arrested man as Dmitry Pimenov -- said to be the leader of the Union of Revolutionary Writers, a group protesting against growing consumerism in Russia. A leaflet signed by the group was found at the site of the explosion. Police reportedly traced the suspect from a photograph on the group's website. Sources close to the investigation say that police are still following several leads.

Tuesday's explosion has triggered fears of political violence returning to Russia. Russian media have suggested the blast might be linked to Islamic militants who are waging war against Russian rule in the Caucasus or to political battles in Moscow itself. A third theory is the possible settling of scores between  rival Mafia groups.
