Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov has said his group was behind Monday's double suicide bombings on the Moscow Metro, which left 39 people dead.
In a video message posted on a Chechen rebel website, he said he had personally ordered the attacks.
He said they were carried out to avenge the killings of "poor Chechens" by Russian security forces in February and warned Russia to prepare for more.

i can get even more controversial and say Shamil Basayev was a great man. Did he take hostages at beslan school? yes he did. DId he kill all of those children? no he did not. and neither did his men. What killed them was the indescriminate fire by OMON and FSB troops who recklessly stormed the places.

Yeah, such a corrupt Russian government. These poor Chechens are totally justified because of Russian aggression. Obviously the Russian government has no right to counter-attack massacres conducted by Chechen terrorists because of something that apparently happened 60+ years ago

Some of these derive from a desire for revenge for past Russian military and political action in the region, especially the forced relocation in the 1940s of the entire population to Middle Asia, resulting in the estimated death of a quarter of the population.
