Oh my: Black widow Muslim suicide bomber may already be in Sochi

Chechen bombers apparently have a thing for sports events.

As you might recall, last April, two Chechen brothers set off two bombs at the Boston Marathon, killing five people and wounding hundreds of others.

Now, reports indicate that a 'black widow' Muslim suicide bomber from the same Dagestan region of Chechnya is reportedly in Sochi threatening the upcoming winter olympics.

Let's go to the videotape. More after the video (Hat Tip: Memeorandum).

Police in Sochi have launched an urgent search for a possible female suicide bomber who may have already made it past the ring of security set up for the Olympic Games.

Hotel employees in Sochi told ABC News that posters with pictures and descriptions of a 22-year-old woman from nearby Dagestan were distributed over the weekend by authorities and a similar flyer was also seen posted at Sochi's airport.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Olympic Committee reacted to the revelation by saying that the safety of Team USA is their "top priority."

"As is always the case, we are working with the U.S. Department of State, the local organizers and the relevant law enforcement agencies in an effort to ensure that our delegation and other Americans traveling to Sochi are safe," spokesperson Patrick Sandusky said.

The woman featured on the wanted posters is identified as Ruzanna Ibragimova, using the nickname Salima, the widow of a militant reportedly killed in a shoot-out with police last year in Dagestan.

She is described as being affiliated with the Caucasus Emirate, the terror group led by Doku Umarov that has threatened attacks against the Winter Games in Sochi.

Ibragimova is described as having a 10 centimeter scar across the left cheek, a pronounced limp, and a stiff left arm that doesn't bend at the elbow.

Until the world takes Islamic terrorism seriously and stops pretending that it's something else, the world will continue to suffer from terror attacks.
