In a statement posted on a website linked to rebels, Islamist militants on Wednesday claimed responsibility for a bombing on 27 November that derailed a Russian express train, killing 26 people.
This operation was prepared and executed along with other acts of sabotage, planned from the start of this year and successfully carried out against a set of strategically important sites in Russia, on the orders of Caucasus Emir Dokku Umarov," said the statement on the website KavkazCenter.com.
Umarov is the self-proclaimed leader of the "Caucasus Emirate," which has sought to unite various Islamist groups in Russia's North Caucasus and establish Islamic Sharia rule in the region.
Chechen rebels have previously issued other claims that turned out to be bogus, including one for an August disaster at a Siberian hydro-electric power plant that was later shown to have been caused by a technical fault.

So a blast occured that killed the Chairman of the Russian Federal Reserve, then another blast occured days after to destroy any evidence that would link the attack back to the criminals.
Then a group claims responsibility?
Why claim responsibility after going through so much trouble to destroy any links coming back to you?
Don't believe it sorry.

Now we must ask, who would want to frame Islamic militants for this crime?
I fear we will continue to see attacks like this; unless we figure out who is really behind these attacks, there is nothing to stop the real perpetrators from causing more chaos.
We have to ask, who hates Muslims so much that they'd want to frame them for crimes against humanity?
