The Russian security services should adopt the Israeli experience in the fight against terrorism and preventing terrorist attacks, the head of the Federation Council's foreign relations committee said on Wednesday.
Monday's blast at the airport arrivals zone of Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport claimed the lives of 35 people and left over hundred injured. No group has yet taken responsibility for the attack, which comes less than 12 months after two female suicide bombers from the volatile North Caucasus struck the Moscow metro, killing dozens.
"I often use airports in different countries and continents, but I have not seen anything more monitored and safer than Israel's Ben Gurion Airport. Why not adopt at least a part of this Israeli experience?" committee head Mikhail Margelov said.
Another Russian senator, Vladimir Kulakov, said that the Domodedovo tragedy stressed the insufficiency and inefficiency of Russia's counter-terrorism measures.
"The unprecedented security measures towards passengers in Israel are immediately visible when you arrive in the country, and everybody takes for granted the thorough screening," Kulakov said.
