Russian blogosphere: blowing up Domodedovo was no problem
After the terror act in Domodedovo, the Internet community is trying to understand how the suicide bomber could freely enter the building with nobody checking and stopping him. Blogs express different versions of what happened.
The politician Boris Nemtsov, who travels frequently through Domodedovo, notes in his blog that "one can freely enter the arrivals area." He also states the failure of the antiterrorist campaign in the country.
Elena Galanova, a representative of Domodedovo, has confirmed that there are checkpoints at the entrances to the airport, but they are not under the airport's security - they obey to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), the newspaper "Vedomosti" writes.
Bloggers and mass media are also discussing possible motives of the terrorist. According to the "Russia-24" TV Channel, which quotes eyewitnesses, before the blast the terrorist shouted:" I'll kill you all!"
"Again we see an anonymous, unmotivated and purposeless bloody act," writes the blogger kungurov, in whose opinion the only beneficiaries will be power agents, who will probably receive additional funds, and governance structures, who will get additional reasons to "tighten the screws" and toughen the legislation.
The blogger zttt not exclude the possibility that the terror act in Domodedovo be an echo of the events at the Manege Square. "Today you are in fascism against non-Russian nationalities, and tomorrow you and your kids will scatter lumps of flesh from the suicide bombing," writes the blogger.
The blogger v_s_demin does not exclude that the explosion in Domodedovo could be a method to intimidate the "guests from the former Soviet Middle Asia", who arrive in Russia.
The same was also stated by Maxim Shevchenko, a member of the Public Chamber of Russia, in his interview to the resource "Actual Comments". According to his version, the explosion occurred exactly in that place, where "those people come, who are called gastarbeiters (guest workers), and against whom neo-Nazis wage war and terror." In Mr Shevchenko's opinion, these potential labour migrant were the terrorists' aim.
Meanwhile, so far, nobody has taken responsibility for the Domodedovo terror act.
The Youtube has a post compiled from the airport surveillance cameras and showing the moment of explosion.
