A Black Widow Comes to Sochi

The other day a jihad group in the Caucasus posted a video warning the Russian government to expect terror attacks against the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi. Today the threat to the Olympics has acquired a face: that of the “Black Widow” mujahidette Salima Ibragimova.

This young woman has a distinctive appearance, and it’s hard to see how she could move around the Sochi area without being detected. She can cover her facial scar, but even a burka can’t conceal the lameness in one leg.

Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading this video:

Below are excerpts from the accompanying CNN article:

Police Warn Sochi Hotels of Terror Suspect as Olympics Near

(CNN) — New details fueled debate Monday over security at the upcoming Winter Olympic Games in Sochi: Wanted posters of a terrorism suspect on the loose, warships at the ready and a video threat from beyond the grave.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that his country has stepped up security and is prepared to handle any threats.

But some U.S. lawmakers — and at least one Olympic athlete — have said they’re worried about the situation.

Hotels warned about terror suspect

Police in Sochi have handed out fliers at area hotels warning of a woman they believe could be a terrorist and who may currently be in the city.

One flier, obtained by CNN, asks workers to be on the lookout for Ruzanna “ Salima” Ibragimova, described as the widow of a member of a militant group from the Caucasus region.

The woman, according to the flier, may be involved in organizing “a terrorist act within the 2014 Olympic region.”

Terror video threatens Winter Olympics CNN obtained a copy of the flier, which is dated January 15, from security staff at a hotel in Sochi. The flier claims authorities have received information about Ibragimova’s possible arrival in the region last week.

Photos of Ibragimova have flooded television and social media reports from Sochi. Some describe her as a “black widow” — a notorious type of terrorist that’s emerged in Russia’s clashes with Chechen separatists.

Many of them are wives of insurgents killed by government forces, and they’ve been blamed for high-profile suicide bombings.

Security experts stressed Monday that the woman is likely one of many suspects authorities are trying to find.

“I guarantee they’re talking about this one black widow,” former CIA officer Mike Baker said, “but there are others that they’re also worried about.”

  1. Like the bomber in WW2 ,the terrorist always gets through.Russia will be lucky to escape an attack during the olympics

  2. Talk of the devil (and he is sure to appear) the British MSM have relaunched their pro-jihad propaganda campaigns to coincide Geneva II.

  3. This woman should be pitied as yet another victim of Islam, an ideology that is amoral and inhumane, even to its own believers, and a religion without tolerance to those who refuse to adhere to its medieval ways.

    May God, and not Allah, have mercy on her soul.
