(Telegraph-UK) - Two Chechen women suicide bombers, dubbed "black widows" by the Russians, brought their terror campaign to the heart of Moscow Tuesday, killing five people only 200 yards from the walls of the Kremlin. The two had explosives strapped to their bodies and were making their way to the parliament, or Duma, when one bomb went off prematurely. The bomb was packed with nails and pieces of metal to inflict maximum casualties. About 300 Russians have been killed in terrorist attacks in the past year.
