AP is saying two Russian jets crashed less than six minutes apart. Both
airplanes departed Moscow. One crashed 120 miles south of Moscow and the
other is presumed crashed 600 miles south of Moscow.

Fuel problem???

Unlikely -- if it were a fuel problem, they would have had plenty of
time to get off some radio calls describing their problems. According to
the news, at least one got off a hijacking TXP code.

My thought is Chechen Islamist terrorists attempting to make a statement
about the upcoming Chechen elections.
