Chechen warlord 'behind Moscow blast'

Doku Umarov, the head of a Chechnya-based rebel group that aims to enforce Islamic rule across the Northern Caucasus, made the claim in a video that was posted two weeks after the suicide bombing at Moscow Domodedovo airport.

“This special operation was carried out on my orders,” said the bearded militant in a video posted on the Kavkaz Centre website. “God willing, these special operations will be carried out in the future,” said the leader of the Caucasus Emirate rebel group.
