Car Bomb in Moscow

The Daily Mail (U.K.) reports the daughter of a major Putin supporter and ally was killed in a car bomb blast in Moscow. It was generally thought to have been aimed at her father who was supposed to be riding in the car with her. The DM has photos.

Apparently no one has taken credit for the bomb blast. Various prominent Russians have concluded it was done by Ukraine commandos. 

Inasmuch as Russians feel entitled to try to destroy anything or anyone they choose in Ukraine, it appears logical that Ukrainians would believe reciprocity entitles them to do likewise in Russia. That is how war is waged. Hat tip to Ed Driscoll posting at Instapundit for the link.

A thing we tend to forget: it is probably relatively easy for Ukrainians who are native Russian speakers to pass as Russians. Their ethnic similarity makes infiltration into Russia not too tough to accomplish. Sort of like an English speaking Canadian passing for an American.
