Putin says Russia still faces terrorism threat
Source: RIA Novosti

"We have done a lot to break the backbone of terrorism, but the threat has not yet been eliminated," the prime minister said during his annual question and answer session.

1. "terrorist" = whomever the State doesn't like...
thanks, George W. Bush, and all his supporters and enablers for making the world safe for the tyranny of the State.

3. Terrorist definition.
One who engages in an act of terror, especially for political reasons. The bomb that blew up the that train was used in an act of terrorism by parties other than the state. Blame the state for other things if you must. But obviously this incident was an act of terrorism.

4. The US is the largest state-sponsor of terror in the world

2. Everyone should know about the Ryazan Incident.
After all, a false flag terrorist attack happened here, too.
