TRIPLE CAR BOMB EXPLOSIONS IN DAGESTAN KILLED 6
Six people have been killed and at least 50 injured, on Wednesday 09/21/1011 evening, after three car bombs exploded in the capital of the predominantly Muslim Dagestan region in Russia’s North Caucasus, according to an interior ministry source and opposition fighters.
The first car detonated in Makhachkala on Wednesday at 7:30pm (15:30 GMT), killing at least four people and injuring five passers-by, the source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.
Two more car bombs exploded within metres of each other exploded after midnight, killing one police officer and a civilian, the source told the reporters.
The blasts occurred about 500 metres from the offices of Dagestan’s interior ministry, a representative of Makhachkala police said. “A police lieutenant died, and about 60 people went to the hospital,” he said. “The first blast was to attract attention, and the second was directed [at people] as the area was being closed off.” The second bomb was planted in a car and the blast was equivalent to about 35kg of TNT, he said.
The latest blasts followed an explosion in the same city late on Wednesday when three people were killed in a car while apparently transporting a bomb, wounding several bystanders.
In another region of Dagestan, several people assaulted a local police chief in the town of Buinaksk on Thursday morning, killing his two bodyguards.
* Two days later, on Friday 09/23/2011, Mohammed Murtazaliev, the deputy head of the federal penitentiary service of Dagestan, was shot dead and “his daughter, nephew and driver also died when the car caught fire following an ambush by gunmen on Friday morning in the village of Samandar, on the outskirts of Makhachkala”, RIA Novosti said.
