Nice girls

Jim Heintz has an AP article from the Houston Chronicle about some tough Russian broads:

The search for three women suspected of planning terrorist attacks at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics has raised one of Russia's most feared specters— the female suicide bombers known as "black widows". For more than a decade, women have committed many of Russia's worst terror attacks, downing airliners, blowing up subway cars, and killing people going to a rock concert.
The term "black widow" refers to the belief that these women took the desperate step of becoming suicide bombers in order to avenge husbands or male relatives killed in Russia's long fight against Islamic militants in the Caucasus region. Russian police leaflets circulating in the Olympic host city of Sochi say that one of the women suspected of planning an attack at the Winter Olympics is the widow of a militant. But there have been cases where the bombers' husbands were alive at the time of their attacks, and one failed bomber said it was shame and a lack of money that drove her to terrorism.
One of the earliest attacks to draw attention to female terrorists was the 2002 mass hostage-taking at a Moscow theater by Chechen militants; 19 of the 41 attackers were women. The crisis ended with Russian forces pumping narcotic gas into the theater, killing all the attackers and at least 118 of the approximately 850 hostages. Police footage after the raid showed some of the women dead in theater seats with explosives attached to their bodies.
In 2003, two women blew themselves up at the entrance gate to a Moscow outdoor rock concert, killing fourteen people.

Rico says be careful; that nice Chechen girl on the bus may kill you...
