Suspect in Volgograd train station bombing: ‘Allah urges us to fight unbelievers’

The official suspect in the train station suicide bombing in Volgograd was a former paramedic who converted to Islam, who wanted to follow Allah’s will and fight the Christian kafirs (believers). In a Youtube video response to his parents plea for him to come back home from those who had ‘brainwashed him’, one of his statements were:

‘Why should we follow those Christian commandments, when Allah, may he be glorified, urges us to fight those kafirs [unbelievers].

‘Why shouldn’t we leave their children orphaned?’

DAILY MAIL – A former paramedic who converted to Islam and joined a militant cell could be the Volgograd train station suicide bomber according to investigators.

The new prime suspect has been identified as Pavel Pechyonkin, and not 26-year-old woman Oksana Aslanova as was previously believed.

Police now think that Pechonkin, who left to join Dagestani militants in 2011, carried out the devastating attack which killed 17 people on Sunday.

The Muslim convert posted a video on Youtube saying that he was following God’s will, that he would not turn back and that he working to earn a place in heaven.

His video was in response to a message from his parents Nikolai and Fanaziya, begging him not to use violence and described their lives as ‘hell’ without him.

He added: ‘Why should we follow those Christian commandments, when Allah, may he be glorified, urges us to fight those kafirs [unbelievers].

‘Why shouldn’t we leave their children orphaned?’

It is believed that investigators will take DNA from Pechyonkin’s father to see if it is a match to tissue found at the scene.

17 people are known to have died in the blast, with more than 50 left injured.
