Moscow Bomber 17-Year-Old "Black Widow"

POLITICS. .

They're called "black widows", those wives of dead militants who line up to volunteer as walking suicide bombs in Russia. Whether seeking revenge for the deaths of their husbands or fulfilling their dead husband's jihadi aspirations, Islamists have a large supply of human bombs in these women. Women without a conscience or souls, with nothing to lose other than their lives, and who are promised they will meet their loved ones in the after life. But how do these women reconcile the fact that although they are told they will meet with their husbands in heaven, the men have already been promised 72 virgins? Some women can't even deal with a second wife. But it doesn't seem to take much to persuade them to volunteer.

I automatically assumed the women would be older, but the latest Moscow train massacres proved me wrong. From the photo with her alleged husband Umalat Magomedov, "black widow" bomber Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova looks no older than ten or twelve, although she's actually 17-years-old. Or so they say. Umalat, an Islamist militant from Dagestan which borders Chechnya, was killed on December 31, 2009, and met Dzhennet on the internet. According to Kommersant Umalat whisked her away by force after they met in person. She was only 16 at the time. No word on how old he was, but he appears to be much older than she.

It appears the other black widow was a 20-year-old Chechnyan girl, Markha Ustarkhanova, married to a Chechnyan militant who was killed October, 2009. Although not yet positively identified,she supposedly was responsible for the second metro blast.

There are believed to be at least 30 so-called 'black widows' lurking about, ready to blow themselves up.

You have to wonder about the reasons why these Islamist militant types marry these young women. Is it to ensure that when they inevitably are killed they will have someone to revenge them, thus creating more suicide bombers? If that's the reason, it's pretty diabolical, but I wouldn't put it past them. They can be indirectly responsible for more deaths even after their own demise.

These two young women were responsible for at least 39 deaths and more than 80 wounded. They will be very surprised when they meet their husbands, in hell.
