...the world just keeps getting more and more fucked up. Story courtesy of NME.

Up to sixteen people have been killed after a suicide bombing at a festival near MOSCOW.

Two female bombers attacked the 'Krylya' festival at Tushino airfield in north-western Moscow (July 5), where up to 40,000 people were attending.

One of the bombers detonated a belt filled with explosives when local police attempted to stop her gaining enterance to the event. The second bomber struck fifteen minutes later, according to BBC news.

The blasts are being blamed on Chechen separatists by the Russian authorities, although noone has yet claimed responsibility.

That is majorly fucked up...any info on why they bombed the place?

Suicide bombing is fucked up enough, but when it happens at a concert, with over 40,000 in attendance, that's truly fucked up. Such a shame.

[bowieee]

Humanity fucking gets to me more and more with each passing day. Fuck. This should have never happened.

I wish there were suicide bomber conventions.

People can't even go out to enjoy a bit of live music.

Any idea what bands were on? Predominantly Russian?

Russians say it's terrorists from Chechnya. Of course, that can be two things: a) it's really terrorists from Chechnya, b) it's just random terrorists and the Russians take it as a pretext to attack Chechnya some more.

is anything safe in this world anymore what can be gained blowing up inoccent people at a concert,was it a political concert?who are they trying to get a message too,its such a useless waste of human life and such a shitty target to aim for.
no target is a good one when it comes to things like that but what have 40000 people at a music event done to deserve this,absolutly nothing i would wager,it just makes me so sad when inoccent people pay for the crimes of goverments and the people pulling the strings.
