[WEEK 2] INTERNATIONAL NEWS: Moscow Airport Suicide Bombing

Moscow Domodedovo Airport graphic and factbox





















A suicide bomber was set off as an act of terror by a 30-35 years old man. The blast caused at least 35 dead and wounded up to 180 people. It happened on 25th Jan at the Moscow busiest airport arrival hall.

The appalling scene of the terminal in airport was engulfed by smoke and splattered with body parts. There were a pile of bodies on the floor and others scattered around. A Russian investigator found an ‘Arab appearance’ head that presumed belongs to the suicide bomber.

According to a witness, the suicide bomber went into the airport with a backpack where he believed that the explosive was probably hidden in there. The suicide bomber interfused himself into the crowd at the arrivals area and he shouted:” I want to kill all of you!” before he blew himself up.

Describing the attack as an act of terror, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev hosted an immediate meeting of top officials and ordered a security regime across the country’s main airports and railway stations as well.

Hours later after the incident, authorities closed the entrance of the immigration area immediately. At least 50 ambulances and 10 fire trucks arrived at the airport. All of the injured were then sent to four different hospitals for treatment.

This incident included the injured that came from different country, Including Britons, Germans, Italians, French, and Spanish. The word terrorism means the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce. What’s the most hurtful is that those innocent people who injured or died in this incident, they don’t deserve this. I send my condolences to all those innocent people who have lost relatives or been injured.
