Just seen a news flash -- a suicide bomber has killed atleast 31 people and injured 120 at Moscow's main Int Airport by the baggage reclaim by the "meet & greet" at 130am uk time. Nails and ballbearings were used. Poor people, hope the numbers don't rise.

I have been through Domededovo so many times and know the baggage claim area well - it is quite small and enclosed - ideal for maximum impact from a bomb. DH is due to go through there on Monday. Me too, and you are right, it is a very small area and always loaded with people. So very sad.

it must be a day for nutters - an Etihad flight has just been diverted and escorted into Stansted by 2 fighter planes because of a "disturbance on board. What next? We'll most likely hear tomorrow that a drunk has been charged with making threats..........I am making assumptions here, but soemtimes I seriously wonder about the judgement of air crew. I know there is no room for error in air safety, but the blithering drunk who claims to have a bomb, is not your usual suspect.

The suicide bomber detonated himself outside of baggage claim. This bombing underscores how insecure all airports are, despite the ridiculous shoe-removing security measures. In the US, for example, people are all bunched up waiting to get through security, or waiting to greet people outside baggage claim. A terrorist wouldn't even have to get on a plane these days to wreak total havoc with the US transportation system. Frightening.

Russia is battling an Islamist insurgency in the Caucasus and deadly attacks on government and police officials in Dagestan as well as neighbouring Chechnya and Ingushetia are an almost daily occurrence. Sky news
