Russian 'Suicide Bomber' Show Called Off (A 9/11 "Terror Concert")
Russian 'Suicide Bomber' Show Called Off

plans for a Sept 11 anniversary "terror concert," starring a female singer dressed as a suicide bomber, were thwarted on Thursday when outrage in the wake of the Beslan school massacre led to its cancellation.

A fierce-looking girl clad in a burqa-style black dress -- dubbed the "Little Suicide Bomber" by the media -- was to sing about Muslim hardships on Saturday, three years since the plane attacks on U.S. cities that killed around 3,000 people.

Tickets to the show were made to look like plane tickets, the Izvestia daily said.

"The concert has been canceled ... Who in his right mind would agree to stage it after all that has happened in Russia?" said a spokeswoman for the venue, the House of Unions Hall.
