The national guard is capable of appearing within minutes at the slightest sign of protest on the streets of Moscow, but took an hour-and-a-half to mobilise to the attack - something does not add up, writes Dominic Waghorn.
In the storm of speculation following Russia's worst terrorist attack in decades, 24 hours on certain facts stand out and questions need answering. The Russians were warned by the US government two weeks ago that an attack by extremists was imminent on 'large gatherings to include concerts'. Even with relations as strained as they are today, warnings about Islamist and other terrorist threats are still passed on.
The bombings help spark the Second Chechen war that in turn helped Mr Putin cement his grip on power and ascend to the presidency. Did the government let the attack happen? In this case most informed observers are leaning towards believing Islamic State's claim of responsibility rather than believing the Russian state engineered the attack.
