55. Mother of Airport Bomber Ashamed, Apologizes

Nov 2014

ALI-YURT, Ingushetia — Speaking softly through tears in her family's tiny home in the North Caucasus, Roza Yevloyeva apologized for her son's suicide bomb attack on Russia's busiest airport 3 1/2 weeks ago.

Magomed Yevloyev, 20, detonated explosives strapped to his body at Moscow's Domodedovo airport on Jan. 24, killing 36 people. Analysts say the attack was proof the Kremlin has failed to quell a bubbling Islamist insurgency along its south.

"We commiserate, and we extend a very big apology to the whole world," Yevloyeva told Reuters on Wednesday in her first interview with foreign press in the town of Ali-Yurt in Ingushetia.

"We are so ashamed, so bitterly sad. We really worry for all the people who died, whom he wounded," the 54-year-old school teacher and mother of four said between muffled sobs as she perched on her dead son's wooden bed.

Many seem ignorant of the fact that martyr is used for any Palestinian that is killed by an Israeli azurnoir Nov 2014 #12

Yes, that too. n/t Jefferson23 Nov 2014 #13

Do you believe Abd al-Rahman al-Shaludi was a martyr? branford Nov 2014 #18

Did you read my comment? Did you understand it? Are you using martyr in the Christian sense? azurnoir Nov 2014 #21

I did, but feel free to educate me . . . branford Nov 2014 #22

First repeat to me what I said about the use of martyr in the context of I/P in comment #12 azurnoir Nov 2014 #24

I didn't ask about general "context," branford Nov 2014 #25

Really then why do you refuse to repeat what I said has nothing to do my belief period azurnoir Nov 2014 #26

I honestly don't know why you refuse to answer such simple questions? branford Nov 2014 #29

I'm inquiring about your own opinions and perspective. branford Nov 2014 #31

my perspective is this azurnoir Nov 2014 #33

+1 for your enduring patience, azurnoir. Here and in so many other threads Jefferson23 Nov 2014 #34

I'll inquire yet again. branford Nov 2014 #35

I already gave that in my previous reply was that not what you wanted? azurnoir Nov 2014 #36

You keep on stating what you believe Palestinians, as a group, generally believe. branford Nov 2014 #38

assume whatever you wish that is your perogative doesn't make it so azurnoir Nov 2014 #40

I will gladly replace assumption with known fact, if you would simply answer the question. branford Nov 2014 #43

here once again azurnoir Nov 2014 #44

I understood you post, and those before it. branford Nov 2014 #45

let's remove what I said and move it over to what? I have already answered your query on all points azurnoir Nov 2014 #58

The title is irrelevant. branford Nov 2014 #17

Those are her words and she is not justifying anything, she is stating clearly, Jefferson23 Nov 2014 #19
