...forces and die in Korea, he is old enough to be left alone with a girl after dark,” he maintained. But administrators continued to cling to the old ways.

But the two most recent bombings are different, because the people behind the attacks represent a younger generation of Chechens who, like the Palestinians before them, have known nothing but war - and who have become radicalized as a result. "We condemn the terror," says Salambek Maigov, Chechen rebel President Aslan Maskhadov's representative in Moscow, "but neither the Kremlin nor we can control the situation any longer."
