2 Russian airplanes go boom and it's barely a blip in the US press. Why? Because it's internal terrorism.
A top Russian official acknowledged Thursday what many citizens already suspected -- that terrorism was the most likely cause of two jetliners crashing minutes apart, a feeling reflected in a newspaper headline warning that "Russia now has a Sept. 11."A day later, a Web site known for militant Muslim comment published a claim of responsibility for Wednesday's twin plane crashes, connecting the action to Russia's fight against separatists in Chechnya.
OTOH, I suppose the lack of press is good in that at least it won't inflame the paranoid among us even more.
