There will be many, many more of these this winter. I figure that the chances of Sochi coming off without some sort of terrorism is around one in five.

Be interesting how this plays out (from a distance). I'm sure Putin will clamp down even harder than normal, but will this result in a harder pushback from the Chenchens? Guess we'll find out.
"PostFactum" said There will be nothing in Sochi, now it's just a storm in a cup.
Agreed. Sochi will be so locked down that it'll make Pelican Bay look like Sandals so chances of it being hit are small, very small. It's the rest of the country that's gonna be in trouble since almost all Putin's apparatchik's will be focused on the Olympics.

Yep. Mind, look what kind of international churn one small backpack bomb at a Boston Marathon did.
Even nothing more than a backpack bomb in Sochi will be very very big indeed.
"Gunnair" said Some dimwit had a back-pack bomb at the Atlanta games, as well.
Five years before the onset of cultural paranoia, the Patriot Act, and threat level colours.
Those two like incidents have become apples and oranges.
Had he not been an all-American, homegrown dimwit he would have been included in the larger "War on Terror" narrative.
An historical aside on the above mentioned war ... Did you notice that the IRA signed a peace treaty over Ulster just as the "War on Terror" malarky was first being uttered? It would have been supremely embarrasing to Bush and co. if the anti-terrorist sweeps also included big, rich segments of the Boston Irish who were arming and abetting the enemy of his best ally on the planet. It's the one positive side effect of 9/11 ... it shamed the Irish into ending a 400 year long war before they were tarred with the same brush (and sanctions)as the Muslim Jihadists.
If Putin could find and eliminate him chances are the attacks would subside while his subordinates reorganized. Otherwise this guy is gonna keep attacking the Russians with what seems like impunity.
Sochi could be very interesting.
Anyone actively thinking about a pro gay protest blah blah should think about it real carefully.
video from across the street, you can see the car alarms going off in the parking lot.
It's the city that used to be named Stalingrad, in the south of Russia.
