Russian Islamic Video Threatens Sochi Olympics

An Islamic militant group in Russia took responsibility Sunday for the twin suicide bombings in the city of Volgograd last month. They also threatened to strike at the 2014 winter olympics in Sochi. They warned President Vladimir Putin that "if you hold these olympics, we will give you a present for the innocent Muslim blood being spilled all around the world: in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Syria." The men speaking in the video also threatened to strike against tourists who show up for the olympics set to be held in Sochi. There has not yet been a reaction from the Russian security services regarding the threats in the video. The video was 49 minutes long and supposedly showed the bombs and the men preparing for the suicide bombing in Volgograd last month.
