Chechen suicide bombers kill 40 aboard train

What is the evidence that it were chechen suicide bombers? Why not Putin's KGB?

Why it is a tried and true method for moslems to thank somebody for a favor.
Putin just did them a great service by pushing the "road crap" through the
UN despite giving his word not to do so. And his moslem friends thanked him
for that.

Chechen suicide bombers kill 40 aboard train

Suspected Chechen suicide bombers killed 40 people and
injured 146 when they blew up a train

Chechnya's separatists were blamed for the blast,
which ripped through the train near the town of
Yessentuki, tearing one carriage to pieces, derailing
others and scattering bodies across the track.

Guerrillas blew up another train on the same
Kislovodsk-Mineralnye Vody line three months ago,
killing six people and injuring 32.

In both attacks, most of the victims were students
going to college in Pyatigorsk, a north Caucasus spa town.

Nikolai Patrushev, head of the FSB domestic security
service, said a suspected bomber's body was found with
grenades still strapped to his legs and a woman suspect
was badly injured in the early morning explosion.

Two other women leapt from the train just before the
blast. "Today's crime is undoubtedly an attempt to
destabilise the situation in the country on the eve of
parliamentary elections," said President Vladimir
Putin, a former KGB spy and FSB chief. "I am sure the
criminals will achieve nothing. Russians themselves
will not allow this."

National television showed rescuers lifting the dead
and injured from the wreckage and bomb disposal
officers blowing up an unexploded grenade on the track.
