Russia gets a suicide bomber, Russia Supports Palestine, Palestinians murder Christians in Egypt...
(Reuters) - At least 31 people were killed and more than 100 injured on Monday in a suicide bombing at Russia's biggest airport, Russian news agencies reported.
Russia's ruble-dominated stock market MICEX fell by nearly two percent following the blast, which ripped through the baggage claim area at Moscow's Domodedovo airport at 1332 GMT.
Smoke wafted out of the baggage claim area and people were seen running out of the emergency exits at the airport, local media reported.
Initial casualty figures were contradictory with ITAR-TASS saying about 20 people had been killed. A spokeswoman for prosecutors put the number of casualties at about 20.
Moscow suffered its worst attack in six years in March 2010 when two female suicide bombers from Russia's volatile Dagestan region set off explosives in the metro, killing 40 people.
The Kremlin is struggling to contain an Islamist insurgency in the mainly Muslim North Caucasus, and rebels have repeatedly vowed they will take their battle to the Russian heartland.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday Moscow had recognized an independent Palestinian state in 1988 and was not changing that position adopted by the former Soviet Union.
But on his first visit to the West Bank as Russian head of state, Medvedev stopped short of making a ringing declaration of recognition of Palestinian statehood by the Russian Federation that he represents.
At a news conference with Medvedev in Jericho, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said: "We remember that Russia was one of the first states in the world to recognize the state of Palestine in 1988."
Medvedev responded, saying: "Russia made its choice a long time ago ...we supported and will support the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to an independent state with its capital in east Jerusalem."
The Soviet Union recognized a Palestinian state in 1988, after it was declared by the late Yasser Arafat in a move that won broad support in the Communist bloc and Third World but had little real impact on diplomatic and political realities.
----------
THE Egyptian government says it has "proof" that an al-Qa'ida-linked Palestinian group was behind a bombing outside a Coptic Christian church.
The New Year's Eve bombing killed 25 worshippers and exacerbated sectarian tensions across Egypt.
Interior Minister Habib Adly blamed the attack on the Army of Islam, an extremist organisation based in the Gaza Strip. The naming of foreigners as the culprit may help Egyptian authorities ease escalating tensions between Muslims and Copts, who make up about 10 per cent of the population.
Mr Adly indicated, however, that the Army of Islam had recruited Egyptians in planning the bombing in Alexandria.
Cairo has long accused militants in Gaza -- backed by al-Qa'ida or other radical groups -- of using the Palestinian territory to plot attacks across the border to upset Egypt's tourism industry and inflame religious mistrust.
Now the FUNNY thing????
Later in his life, Abbas entered graduate studies at the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, where he earned a Candidate of Sciences degree[9] (the Soviet equivalent of a PhD). The theme of his PhD dissertation was "The Other Side: The secret relations between Nazism and the leadership of the Zionist movement". His supervising Professor was KGB officer Yevgeny Primakov.
LOL...
