Doku Umarov claims responsibility for Monday’s twin metro bombings in Moscow saying, according to Kavkaz Center, that “the attack had been a retaliation and a retribution for the massacre by Russian invaders of the poorest residents of Chechnya and Ingushetia, who were picking wild garlic in the Arshty village on February 11, 2010, to feed their families.”
