In 2011, 15 suicide bombings in Moscow and Northern Caucasus claimed 64 lives
As a result of 15 suicide bombings committed in 2011 in the North-Caucasian Federal District (NCFD) and Moscow, 64 persons were killed, and at least 224 others were wounded. These are the results of calculations made by the "Caucasian Knot" based on the information of its own correspondents and other open sources.
On January 24, a terror act committed at the Domodedovo Airport in Moscow killed 38 people and wounded 173 more. The investigation established that the suicide bomber was Magomed Evloev, 20, a resident of the village of Ali-Yurt, Nazran District of Ingushetia. Dokku Umarov, the leader of North-Caucasian militants took responsibility for organizing the terror act.
In 2011, Chechnya saw seven suicide bombings, which killed 16 people, including seven members of the armed underground, and at least 21 people were wounded.
In Dagestan, in 2011 there were four suicide bombings, which killed seven people, including suicide bombers; other 30 were wounded.
In 2011, Ingushetia recorded two suicide bombings, which killed two suicide bombers.
Kabardino-Balkaria saw one suicide bombing committed by an alleged militant, when policemen tried to detain him; nobody suffered from among power agents.
In 2011, North Ossetia and Karachay-Cherkessia registered no such incidents.
Nevertheless, there is a preserved trend to commit terror acts outside the area of the armed conflict, in particular, in Moscow.
