 Russian airplane bombings of August 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Russian airplane bombings of August 2004 was a terrorist attack on two domestic Russian passenger aircraft at around 23:00 on August 24, 2004.
The debris of the airplane was found on the morning of August 25, 2004 9 km from Glubokoye village in Kamenec-Shahtiskiy Rayon of Rostov Oblast.
The bombings preceded other bloody attacks in Russia soon afterwards: on August 31, 2004 a bomb killed 10 at a Moscow subway station, and then the Beslan hostage crisis began on September 1, 2004 which would leave over 335 people dead, many of them children.

 The Agonist thoughtful, global, timely
The Russian press was quick to paint the pair as the latest in a line of female suicide bombers from the strife-torn Caucasus republic to strike, citing their suspected ethnic origins and the fact no relatives have come forward to claim their remains.
Russian authorities who earlier said the dual crashes may have been a freak coincidence said on Friday that traces of explosives were found in the wreckage of one plane, suggesting sabotage, Itar-Tass news agency said.
Russian Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu said that "regarding the Tu-134 near Tula, one of the flight recorders has been found in good condition and the search for the second flight recorder is ongoing and practically all the bodies of those who perished have been found".

On Sunday August 15, 2004, a 16 year old girl by the name of Atefe Rajabi, daughter of Ghassem Rajabi, was executed in the town of Neka, located in the province of Mazandaran, for "engaging in acts incompatible with chastity".

The Kremlin official, Aslanbek Aslakhanov, said in an interview that more than 20 elite Russian commandos were killed in the day-long battle that began Friday, many of them accidentally shot in the back by armed civilian vigilantes who rushed to the school to fight for their children.
The extent to which Russian brutality and clumsiness have radicalized many Chechens could be debated, as could Moscow's often exaggerated claim that all Chechen resistance is Wahhabi and attributable to non-Chechen mercenaries.
In military terms, four years into the recent round of violence, the Russian military still cannot even seal the borders of Chechnya--a small state, even if its terrain is difficult.

 The Fladen Experience
Normally, Russian planes just dropping out of the sky can be pretty reliably tagged on the embarrassing, gradual rust-out of post-Soviet infrastructure and poor maintenance (e.g., the Kursk nuclear sub sank due to explosion of a faulty torpedo, not due to collision with a phantom American submarine, as was initially reported in Russian media).
The Russian authorities are on the verge of declaring the two plane explosions last night over southern Russia a coordinated terrorist attack.
Presence of Saudi citizens is not the sine qua non of airplane terrorism.

 Corrupt Airline Official Let Chechen Bombers Board Russian Planes — Prosecutor - NEWS - MOSNEWS.COM
Suicide bombers who caused the explosions on board of two Russian passenger jets that crashed on August 24 were allowed to board the planes for a bribe of 1000 rubles ($33), Russian Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov has said.
Putting a stake on arming clans, Russian authorities have created a situation where the challenge of reestablishing constitutional order and developing the economy in the republic is put on the back burner.
He also said that the two Chechen women who are suspected of perpetrating the bombings were detained by airport police and handed to a police captain for a luggage check.
