Committee, flew to Togliatti today to head up the enquiry into
the explosion, Markin said.

Chechen insurgents. The two deadliest were the 2002 besieging astatine a
theater in Capital Of The Russian Federation that resulted in the deceases of more than than 120
hostages and the 2004 hostage-taking at a school in Beslan in
