Introducing The History Bureau: Putin and the Apartment Bombs

Hear a teaser for The History Bureau: Putin and the Apartment Bombs, from theBBC. In September 1999, just weeks after a 46-year-old Vladimir Putin becamePrime Minister, four bombs blew up four apartment buildings across Russia, killinghundreds of people while they slept. The attacks plunged the country into panic. Families fled their homes. Residentspatrolled their blocks around the clock. An entire nation paralyzed by fear. But whodid it? It's a mystery that has fuelled some chilling theories. Over 25 years later, journalists who covered the bombings still can't agree on whoplanted the explosives or why. Presenter Helena Merriman returns to the story withthe reporters who were there on the ground.
