It is believed Chechens may be responsible. After passing through this aiport in July 1996, they were also the same group that had blown up several city buses in the downtown area near my hotel later in the day. The military and the police were patrolling the streets on foot in pairs, etc..

Not a nice start to my first Russia visit + jet lag + 90+ degree weather.
