Two women reportedly blew themselves up on two different Moscow subway trains this morning. 35 confirmed dead and 51 injured.

Yeah, heard about that on the way into work. As with our own underground bombings, I'm always amazed at the comparatively low body count with these things.

Horrible news, as always with these things. I'd cope better reading about this stuff if there was anyone left to direct my anger towards, but this is what you get when a murderous bastard think real life works the same way as Eve Online.

I suppose the only deterrent would be to treat the ones we catch in such a way that new prospective bombers wouldn't want to run the risk of failing and getting caught. Given that the motivations are religious though, that'd have to be whatever the most long and painful torture possible is - and even then, it might not work...what price our humanity?

Some treatment worse than being ripped apart by explosives?

I heard about this on the radio earlier, horrible news :(
has anyone claimed responsibility? (even the thought of someone having the cheek to 'claim responsibility' for an act like this fills me with rage and makes me want to kick their nose off.)

I don't really see what these sorts of acts achieve.

Is the aim to bring down infrastructure, or just make a political statement?

Either way, there has to be better methods, my suggestion for which would be to infiltrate and enforce change from within.

Does everyone remember how the 7/7 London bombers purchased return train fares? The authorities speculated that they must not have realised they were on a suicide run, otherwise they would have bought singles. The reasoning behind this theory baffles me.

I always thought, what with one of their principal edicts of their religion being some kind of heaven/valhalla/nirvana filled with hot tottie and ambrosia, then keeping them in a controlled coma forever would be a pretty good deterrent. Oh, hang on these were women - do they get the heaven pass, knowing how sexist their faith is?

Absolutely. I mean, you only save about 50p and if you're going to be dead money wouldn't be a problem.

You've got to get your 77 virgins from somewhere.

Untrue. An EvE player would suicide gank the train, then have their alt pick up the loot straight after.

I know there's a recession on and everyfink, but I thought it was 80. No-one said it was 77. Nuh-uh, no way I'm going boom for less than 80.

I'm 99% certain that the whole "virgins" thing stems from an original, wilful misinterpretation.

I'm not sure I care enough to be 100% certain...

To enforce a feeling of pressure and fear in the targetted society, and eventually piss the populace off so much they stop supporting whatever their government is doing that the terrorists don't like.

72 virgins, people, 72.

Which is a shitter for these bombers, being female. A bunch of spotty oiks who'll shoot their load as soon as you take off your veil.

do they stay virgins? When you 'have' one, is she removed and replaced with a fresh virgin? If so, why have 72, when 3 or 4 is enough. If they're not replaced, then who long would 72 last? Even if you're careful and deflower one a week, you only get about 18 months of virgins.

And who wants virgins anyway? They're rubbish at sex. You'd have to explain stuff.

Empty oblivion sounds preferable, if I'm honest
