The investigation into the recent spate of terrorist attacks took a confusing twist Thursday when the Interior Ministry in Chechnya announced that the suspected suicide bomber of a Tu-134 airplane was alive and well and that her passport found at the crash site was forged.
A Chechen Interior Ministry spokesman told Rossiiskaya Gazeta that Amanat Nagayeva, the main suspect in the Aug. 24 bombing of the Moscow-Volgograd flight, was alive and selling toys in the Rostov region.
The passport found at the Tu-134 crash site was a well-made forgery, but its serial number had not yet been issued, the paper reported the spokesman as saying.
After analyzing flight recorders and the debris from two planes that crashes almost simultaneously last week, investigators concluded Monday that the planes had been blown up in a terrorist attack but had not been hijacked first.
Transportation Minister Igor Levitin, who is overseeing the investigation, said crewmembers of both planes did not report any problems ahead of the crashes last Tuesday. He said an SOS call and a hijack alert sent from one of the planes, a Sibir Tu-154 heading for Sochi, may have been triggered by a short-circuit when it broke up in an explosion.
I'm telling you guys this whole thing stinks. Something is going on here and it worries me more than anything in Iraq. God I hope I'm wrong.
