Terrorists bribed way on doomed flights

THE two Chechen women suspected of blowing up two Russian airliners last month were briefly detained by airport policemen, but paid bribes to get on to the flights.

The planes crashed almost simultaneously on the night of August 24 after taking off from Moscow’s Domodyedovo airport.

Russia’s Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov said yesterday the women arrived at the airport the evening of August 24, accompanied by two other Chechens.
