List of people allegedly involved in the 1999 Russian apartment bombings
The Russian apartment bombings were a series of five bombings in Russia that took place in Moscow and two other Russian towns during ten days of September 1999. Altogether nearly 300 civilians were killed at night. The bombings, together with the Dagestan War, led the country into the Second Chechen War. Chechen militants were blamed but no Chechen field commander accepted responsibility for the bombings and Chechen president Aslan Maskhadov denied any involvement of his government. The bombings ceased when a similar bomb was found and defused in an apartment block in the Russian city of Ryazan on September 23.
