Photo of islamic bombing of Russian train in 2010
The Russians got lucky this time as they were able to foil an islamic terror plot targeting a high speed rail that runs from Moscow to St. Petersburg...the same train we saw bombed last year killing scores of Russians.
From the story at Hurriyet:
Russian security serves have foiled a plot by a group of Islamists to blow up a high-speed train running between Moscow and Saint Petersburg, the Kommersant business daily said Monday.
A blast on the same route that authorities blamed on Muslim rebels killed 26 people in November 2009.
The respected daily said the group of North Caucasus-based militants had already prepared a fertilizer bomb and were in the closing stages of their operation when they were arrested by Federal Security Service (FSB) agents.
FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov on July 18 reported to President Dmitry Medvedev that his service had averted a "major terror act" in the Moscow region in the preceding days.
Bortnikov added at the time that militants had plans to target public places and "transport infrastructure" in the Moscow region.
Every day we see this crap - every single day we see either a successful or a foiled islamic terror threat in every corner of the world and we still, STILL have to convince people in America of a threat. The fact of the matter is this - the islamists of this world have set their sites on the destruction of Russia, of America, of Britain, of Germany, of Italy, of Spain, of India, of Australia...and the list would go on for five more pages. It's really rather simple - any infidel country is a target.
So, when you go to vote in 2012, are you going to give a shit how your candidate approaches the threat of Islam or are you going to bury your head and hope for the best?

Russia is battling a Muslim insurgency in the North Caucasus, and suicide and other attacks have returned to the Russian capital in recent years.
A suicide bomber from the North Caucasus killed 37 people at Russia's busiest airport in January. Two female suicide bombers from that region killed 40 and wounded dozens on the underground during morning rush hour last year.
Russia's leading Islamist rebel Doku Umarov in February vowed to make 2011 "a year of blood and tears" and has claimed most recent attacks.
