MAKHACHKALA, February 15 (RIA Novosti) Two policemen killed in terror attack in Russia’s Southhttp://rt.com/news/dagestan-blast-suicide-terror/print/ Published: 15 February, 2011, 01:09 Edited: 15 February, 2011, 09:16 Two suicide bomb blasts have rocked the southern Russian republic of Dagestan, killing at least two policemen and injuring 20 others. The first bomb was detonated at around 8pm by a female suicide bomber, who went to Gubden police station and threw objects at it to attract attention. When a police officer approached her she detonated the bomb she was carrying. The device was packed with metal particles which resulted in shrapnel injuries to four police officers nearby. One of them died and three are in hospital, some in critical condition. Security measures were stepped up in the region, but three hours later in the same village, a male suicide bomber set off a car bomb near a police checkpoint, killing one police officer and injuring 17 others. At the moment, investigators are trying to establish the bombers’ identities. The blasts come in the wake of a January terror attack at Domodedovo Airport in Moscow which left 36 dead and more than 180 injured. After that attack, a massive security reinforcement was ordered throughout the country. President Medvedev said security measures needed to be tightened, not only in the main hubs in the central cities, but in all parts of Russia. Many checkpoints were set up at the entrances to the airports, train stations and other institutions. In Monday’s attack, the number of victims was reduced by the fact that the female bomber had been stopped at the checkpoint and did not manage to enter the police station. Otherwise, there might have been many more lives lost.
MOSCOW | Mon Feb 14, 2011 12:50pm EST MOSCOW Feb 14 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed one serviceman and wounded four others on Monday in Russia's Dagestan province, where the Kremlin is struggling to contain an Islamist insurgency, Russian news agencies reported. The attacker detonated explosives after approaching a police precinct house in Gubden, a village around 150 km (95 miles) south of the provincial capital Makhachkala, state-run RIA quoted a regional Interior Ministry official as saying. The victims were Interior Ministry troops assigned to guard the police building, the report said. Gubden is known for alleged links to an insurgency aimed at building an Islamic state across Russia's mainly Muslim North Caucasus, which includes Dagestan and several other provinces. Two female suicide bombers from Dagestan struck in Moscow's metro last March, killing 40 people. (Reporting by Amie Ferris-Rotman; editing by Steve Gutterman)
