On March 3, at about 8:45 p.m., in Nazran, at the house belonging to Murat Zyazikov, former president of Ingushetia, a car blew up, killing one person.

"Now, a burned down car with a scorched man's body inside can be seen opposite the ex-president's house. The circumstances of the incident are clarified," a source in the Republic's MIA has reported.

According to eyewitnesses, there were several explosions, then, the car burst into flame. "It's unclear so far who is in the car and who ii belongs to. The car has no license plate," said the source.

It is not excluded that the victim was a suicide bomber and tried to blow up the ex-president's house. A group of inspectors is now scrutinizing the venue, as the "Interfax" reports.

As a result of the attack on Murat Zyazikov's house nobody of his family suffered, while the ex-president of Ingushetia himself is in Moscow now.
