Putin’s Claim: Is 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi really under terror threat?

-DR. ABDUL RUFF COLACHAL 

_______________

Putin came to power in 2000 at the Kremlin by killing the Chechen freedom fighters and has stayed in power till today and has not ruled out to contest for presidency in 2018.

Putin’s major concern is to stay in power as long as Kremlin rules permit.  And no president in Russia has so far lost reelection for the Kremlin. He can also become Premier for some years and continue to rule Russia till his death so that he need not face any serious investigations or punishment for his crimes. .

Do terrorists clearly spell out their future plans to the government agencies?  If you doubt they won’t then change your opinion right now.

The so-called terrorists in Russia have informed the Putin regime that they would attack the Sochi Olympic venue.  

That is Hollywood style of doing when the perfect hero provides full information about his attack on a specific site at a particular time and challenges the villains to stop him if they can. And you all know the hero accomplishes the feat in perfection and triumphs in his fight against the vicious circles.

Russia has been making tireless efforts to be closer to USA and EU without losing its present status.

Following the Sept-11 hoax, executed to generate  the public opinion against Islam and Islamizing Afghanistan,  Russia extended  full support to NATO and USA to be in their "good books".  

A supposed to be Islamic militant group in Russia's North Caucasus reportedly claimed responsibility for twin suicide bombings in the southern city of Volgograd last month and posted a video threatening to strike the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

One vital question worried the curious and helpless onlooker: Was the video manufactured in Washington or London?

In the video, two Russian-speaking men warned President Vladimir Putin that "If you hold these Olympics, we will give you a present for the innocent Muslim blood being spilled all around the world: In Afghanistan, in Somalia, in Syria."

There had been no previous “claim” of responsibility for the bombings, which killed 34 people and heightened security fears before next month's Winter Games.

They have also threatened the tourists who come.

The video claims that the two men, identified as Suleiman and Abdurakhman, were the suicide bombers and purports to show the explosives being prepared and strapped to their bodies. During much of the 49-minute video, the two men speak to the camera . Behind them hang black banners with Arabic religious phrases similar to those used by al-Qaida.

Symbolic  of anti-Islamism.

Russia is eager to deny freedom to all those Muslims nations, invaded by the former imperial Russian regime to expand   the territories  to all sides. . .

Dagestan, one of several predominantly Muslim republics in the North Caucasus, has become the center of the Islamic insurgency that has spread throughout the region following separatist wars in neighboring Chechnya. Vilayat Dagestan is one of the groups that make up the so-called Caucasus Emirate, which seeks to establish an independent Islamic state in the North Caucasus, a region just to the east of Sochi on Russia's southern border.

There was no immediate reaction to the video from the Russian security services.

However, in response to the terrorist threat, Russia has introduced sweeping security measures for the Sochi Games.

The Chechen leader of the Caucasus Emirate, Doku Umarov, had ordered a halt to attacks on civilian targets in 2012, but he rescinded that order in July and urged his followers to try to undermine the Olympics. The Kremlin-backed leader of Chechnya claimed last week that Umarov was dead, but the claim couldn't be verified. The Vilayat Dagestan statement said the Volgograd attacks were carried out in part because of Umarov's order, but didn't specifically say he had ordered them.

A suicide bomb blast in Volgograd's main railway station on Sunday afternoon killed at least 18 people, and a second attacker blew up a trolley bus during rush hour on Monday morning, killing 16 and leaving bodies strewn on the street. "No matter what motivated the criminals, there can be no justification for crimes against civilians, particularly against women and children," Putin said in televised comments at the start of a meeting with senior security officials.

Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin met wounded victims of deadly suicide bombings in the southern Russian city of Volgograd, heaping condemnation on the attacks that raised security fears ahead of the Winter Olympics. Putin flew in before dawn, after vowing in a New Year address to "annihilate" terrorists in uncompromising remarks aimed at so-called “Islamist insurgents” based in the North Caucasus who have plagued his 14-year rule.

The claimed bombings raised fears of more attacks before Russia holds the Winter Olympics in Sochi a Black Sea resort on the edge of the Caucasus Mountain range 690 km (430 miles) southwest of Volgograd. While nobody has claimed responsibility, the attacks underscored Russia's vulnerability to insurgents more than a decade after it drove separatists from power in the North Caucasus province of Chechnya during Putin's first term.

Freedom insurgents?

It has become a routine habit for the regimes killing the freedom fighters by calling them terrorists and insurgents.

 USA started the trend of calling tracking the “insurgents” when they began attacking the Afghan fighters to defend their nation from foreign invaders led by NATO rouges s to clear way for implementing its hidden agenda in South Asia, Central Asia, and Mideast as well as along the historic Silk Road.

The “insurgents” say they are fighting to carve an Islamic state out of a swath of southern Russia that includes Sochi. In a video posted online in July, their Chechen-born leader called for "maximum force" to prevent Russia staging the Sochi Games.

Putin has staked his reputation on the success of the Olympics. He secured the Games for Sochi in 2007, during his first stint as president.

President Vladimir Putin, 61, and has not ruled out seeking a new six-year term in 2018.

Putin seems to cry over the killing of children and women in Russia and seeks to destroy the criminals. But he by following the footsteps of Washington, Putin, however, never criticized the Israeli regime for killing children and women in Palestine.
