Moscow Airport Explosion: Timeline Of Recent Terrorism Events In Russia (PHOTOS)

A Timeline Of Recent Russian Terrorist Attacks

Though no claims of responsibility have been made for Monday's deadly suicide bombing that shook Russia's busiest airport and killed 35, international outcry over the attack has already been resounding.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin vowed retribution, while President Dmitry Medvedev demanded robust security checks at all transport hubs. According to the Associated Press, suspicion is likely to fall on Islamist separatist insurgents from Chechnya or elsewhere in Russia's restive Caucasus region who have been battling Russian authority for over 15 years.

Unfortunately for Moscow, the attack is only the recent in a turbulent era for the nation. In 1999, a chain of apartment block explosions killed a total of 230 people, while 130 lives were lost in the infamous Dubrovka Theatre attack in 2002.
