At least 12 people were killed on Wednesday in the Russian republic of Dagestan following twin bombings in Moscow on Monday. Islamist militants in Chechnya have claimed responsibility for the Moscow blasts and Russian authorities suspect they are behind the Dagestan attack. Dagestan is one of several republics in Russia's turbulent North Caucasus region.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin lashed out at the militants on Tuesday, saying they will be "destroyed."

Mr. Putin said it is a matter of honor for law enforcement agencies to dredge the militants out of sewer and to bring them into God's daylight. And he expressed certainty that this would be done.

Chechen rebel leader Doku Umarov has claimed responsibility for the Moscow blast, following through on his January threat on the Internet against Russia.

Umarov says that if Russians think the war is far away in the Caucasus, then "praise Allah" his organization intends to prove that the war will come home to them.
