9 Russian police injured, 60 people arrested as mob invades airport in search of Israelis

Oct. 30 (UPI) -- At least nine police officers were injured and 60 people arrested after mass anti-Israel riots at the international airport in Russia's mainly Muslim republic of Dagestan, 1,200 miles southeast of Moscow.

Several hundred protestors stormed the airport terminal in the capital, Makhachkala, and spilled out onto the airfield ahead of the arrival of a scheduled flight from Tel Aviv on Sunday evening, according to the state-run Tass news agency.

Authorities brought the situation under control and ejected the rioters but the unrest caused the cancellation of dozens of flights before the airport was shut down Monday morning with no flight departures or arrivals now expected until Tuesday.

"At present, the airport is fully under the control of law enforcement bodies. More than 150 active participants of the riots have been identified, 60 of them have been detained and taken to local police departments for further investigation," the statement said.

Just a hunch but I wouldn't be surprised if Vlad Pooty Poot is behind some of this. He needs a distraction.

Puty, tell them you will quit and move in with your namesake Vladimir L. or Uncle Joe if it all doesn't stop by next week.
