There was a terrorist bombing in Russia yesterday in Volgograd, the former Stalingrad, in which 17 people were killed. The suspect is Pavel Pechyonkin, a convert to radical Islam. Earlier this year Pechyonkin's father asked him the question above in a YouTube video, to which his son posted a reply, "I have come here only to make Allah pleased with me, to earn heaven."
And today another bombing in Volgograd: 14 dead.
On February 7 Russia, through the city of Sochi, about 400 miles from Volgograd, hosts the Winter Olympics. This past July, the leader of the "Caucasus Emirate," an Islamic terrorist group vowed to disrupt the Olympics with attacks like this.
