Russia says three men behind Moscow subway bombings killed
Three members of the group behind the March suicide bombings on the Moscow subway have been shot while resisting arrest, Russian security officials have said.
Forty people died and 80 were wounded when two female suicide bombers blew themselves up at the Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations during morning rush hour on March 29th.
Alexander Bortnikov, the head of Russia's federal security service, told the RIA-Novosti news agency he had informed president Dmitry Medvedev of the development.
"Unfortunately, we did not manage to detain them alive," he said without offering information on where the shootings had taken place.
"They offered fierce armed resistance and were eliminated."
The three men were thought to have been part of a group responsible for the bombings from Dagestan, in the mostly-Muslim north Caucasus region that also includes Chechnya.

Is it me...or are the Russians making the same mistake they did during World War II? For the Russians demanding Hamas and Hezbollah be involved in peace talks...when they get the same sort of Jihadis within their own backyard whom could easily promote the same PR game their Palestinian counterparts have been doing for years.
