terror and no news?

Two Jet Planes blow up over Russia, almost assuredly terrorism...and cable news is covering, with great dedication, Scott Peterson.
Current suspicions are on two Chechen women that may have detonated explosives aboard the two planes- that exploded nearly simultaneously.
Further, the Russian backed Alu Alkhanov just won the Chechen presidency, mixing some politics into this major terrorism story.

So where in the world are the media? Two damn jets blew up in, apparently, suicide attacks. Isn't this what we're fighting in the war on terror?

PS:
I reckon I should add this: certainly the various media have covered this story. But ask yourself, what if the same thing had happened over Ohio?

Surely, more media attention ought to be paid to events in our hemisphere. But the difference, I'm guessing, between the present coverage and the quality/quantity of coverage had the event happened here reveals our still too much isolated attention. This is a terrorism story, for crying out loud.
Mike's comment below adds more reason to be all over this story--possible political desires to cover up the conclusion that this was terrorism. Echoes of Spain's previous elections and the government's attempt to tag the terrorism on the Basques.
