There are persistent suspicions that he and his clique organized the terrorist bombings that catapulted him to power.

Not to mention what he did the last time people in a theater in Moscow were attacked. His actions(gassing the theather) killed 130 of the victims.

Thanks, was looking for a verifiable source for the apartment bombings but couldn't find one. Didn't think of wikipedia.

Is the NY Times verifiable?:

NY Times article from 1999 1

NY Times article from 1999 2
