Two Britons are among 35 people believed to have been killed along with 170 injured in an explosion caused by a dual suicide attack at Moscow's main commercial airport.
Rollinthunder - your comment is quite valid in a thread where news is breaking and further information is being added all the time. However, when The Times headline reads "Britons Killed in Moscow Terror". I despaired that journalism hasnt moved on from the "Fog in the channel - Europe isolated" days. Arent the other 34 deaths quite so important?

Meanwhile, on the inside pages is a horrific account of how Steven Greenoe managed twice to blag his way onto flights in the US after declaring that the dismantled weapons he was carrying were replicas, and then succeeded in getting them past UK customs, whence they found their way to criminal gangs in NW England. Hardly a triumph for either US or UK security.
