A novel approach as well. They think the bomb was burried in concrete a few months ago.

Here is the quote from CNN :

"The blast happened beneath the VIP stand where political and military leaders were reviewing a military parade.

A spokesman for the Chechen Interior Ministry said that the bomb may have been buried in concrete as many as three months ago while the stadium was undergoing a renovation."

Now that is forward thinking.
