A Chechen woman accused of trying to set off a bomb in Moscow last July has been sentenced to 20 years. Zarema Muzhakhoyeva, 22, was convicted of terrorism, preparing and attempting to commit a crime. Muzhakhoyeva, a widow of Russia's war in Chechnya, is believed to have intended carrying out a suicide attack. She was stopped at a Moscow restaurant but a bomb disposal expert died trying to defuse explosives found in her bag. Muzhakhoyeva was arrested after being spotted acting suspiciously as she tried to take a rucksack into a restaurant. It is thought she lost her nerve to blow herself and threw the bag into the street.
