No folks...this wasn't a suicide bombing in Mosul or Kabul or even the Swat Valley - this was a classical islamic jihadi suicide bombing in Chechnya, actually in the Chechen city of Grozny. And it highlights just how the radical islamists in Chechnya aren't exactly ready to assimilate into Chechen society and start selling rugs and falafel. Here's some details of the attack from Breitbart:
Now look at this statement from the article:
Boy, that really is a big mystery, isn't it?!! Let's see...do you think it was a Russian national who became despondent? Oh wait, maybe it was a Polish immigrant upset about the economy! Or do you suppose it was an islamic terrorist operating from a cell in the city hellbent on showing how they will still try to tear Chechnya apart? Who do YOU think it was?
Russia, Chechnya...hell the whole region is lousy with muslims as Chechnya is now seeing muslims in the majority and with that comes the price to pay - you'll always have the extremists like this guy who will be blowing people and property up and the moderates who fund them and secretly back them. The Russians and Chechens have to realize that the World Caliphate has the same designs on their area as it does on the West.
A suicide bomber killed two police officers and wounded several more Friday when he blew himself up near the interior ministry headquarters in the Chechen capital Grozny.
The bombing came exactly a month after Russia officially ended a decade-long "counter-terrorist operation" in the war-torn southern region, claiming stability had returned under strongman leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
"An unidentified person approached the guards at the entrance to the interior ministry and after embracing one of the guards blew himself up," a source in the ministry's press service told AFP.
"As a result of the blast, two police were killed who were members of the guards of the interior ministry of Chechnya," he said, adding that the attack took place around 0700 GMT.
The Interfax news agency said several other police had been wounded. It said the attack took place 500 metres (550 yards) away from the interior ministry.
Now look at this statement from the article:
Chechnya interior minister Ruslan Alkhanov vowed that "all measures will be taken to establish the identity of this terrorist and his connections," Interfax reported.

Suicide bomber kills two police in Chechen capital
A suicide bomber killed two police officers and wounded several more Friday when he blew himself up near the interior ministry headquarters in the Chechen capital Grozny.
The bombing came exactly a month after Russia officially ended a decade-long "counter-terrorist operation" in the war-torn southern region, claiming stability had returned under strongman leader Ramzan Kadyrov.

Chechnya interior minister Ruslan Alkhanov vowed that "all measures will be taken to establish the identity of this terrorist and his connections," Interfax reported.
Analysts have warned that despite the end of the counter-terrorist operation, predominantly Muslim Chechnya still faced problems from Islamic militancy.
Low-level insurgencies are also still continuing in neighbouring regions of Ingushetia and Dagestan.
Two policemen and one local Chechnya resident were killed in an explosion earlier this week near the village of Belgata in southern Chechnya, underscoring continuing tensions in the region.
But a suicide bombing in broad daylight in the centre of Grozny -- which has been rebuilt as a symbol of Chechnya's recovery after two devastating wars -- represents a major blow to hopes that full stability has returned.
Russia fought two full-scale wars with separatist forces in Chechnya after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but the situation had stabilised in recent years under the pro-Moscow Kadyrov.
Kadyrov had long called for the elimination of the anti-terror decree to allow Chechnya to establish its own customs system which would permit Grozny airport to receive international flights.
The Chechen leader, himself an ex-rebel, has been heavily criticised for his strongman tactics by rights groups, who accuse him of torture and using his own personal forces to crack down on critics.
He has also won attention for eccentric behaviour which includes maintaining his own private zoo in Grozny containing tigers, leopards, bears and panthers.
