Blaming the Ingush Police
Source: http://www.robertamsterdam.com/2009/08/blaming_the_ingush_police.htmPosted on Tuesday, August 18th, 2009 | In Market Commentary, Russia
About 20 people were murdered and 138 injured, most of them police officers, when a suicide bomber drove a truck containing some 400 kilos of explosive into the police station. Unfortunately for the freshly bereaved surviving family members of these murdered policemen, Moscow is now blaming them for the attack.
Commenting on the bombing, Russia’s Interior Minister Rashid
Nurgaliyev said: “When information was already known and when
appropriate preventive measures should already have been taken [the
police] failed to work.” (…)Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev sacked the region’s interior minister, Ruslan
Meiriyev, saying the attack had been preventable.“This act of
terror could have been averted,” said Mr Medvedev. “The police must
protect the people and the police must also be able to defend
themselves.”
