Opportune Outage Pulls Chubais' Plug.
(From The Moscow Times)
A number of candidates have emerged in the search for the culprit behind last week's Moscow blackout. Shamil Basayev belatedly -- and less than credibly -- claimed responsibility for the catastrophe. If he wanted the world to take him seriously, Basayev should have warned of the blackout in advance or, at the very least, claimed responsibility as soon as the lights went out.
This is good news in a way. When Basayev was really bombing apartment buildings in Moscow, he kept quiet about it, and the effect was far more terrifying. It may be that it's gotten harder to pull off terrorist attacks, so Basayev has decided to put his energy into PR.

When the power went out in Moscow, however, Putin immediately laid the blame on Chubais.
