Putin Calls Security Meeting After Mob Storms Dagestan Airport

The Facts

• Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin on Monday called a meeting of top security and law enforcement officials after hundreds stormed an airport in the Russian region of Dagestan a day earlier.

• Men from the predominantly Muslim region in Russia's south overran staff at the Makhachkala Uytash Airport and made their way onto the runway. They then descended on a plane that had recently arrived from Israel. Some carried signs that read, "We are against Jewish refugees." Others said, "There is no place for child-killers in Dagestan."
