Target of Chechen terrorists

The two suicide bomb attacks that killed 38 people and wounded over 60 in Moscow on Monday targeted the city's busy subway system, a favourite target of Chechen terrorists.

In the past six years militants mounted five attacks on the Moscow Metro. In terms of casualties, Monday's bombings were the worst attack on the capital since February 2004, when a suicide bombing killed at least 41 people on a metro train. There have been no terrorist attacks in Moscow since August 2004, when a suicide bomber blew herself up outside a subway station, killing 10 people.
