The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the above explosion occurred at the gate of Musaev's house in the evening on May 28; fortunately, nobody was hurt.

Musaev had repeatedly received "flash memory sticks" from militants, a Gergebil villager, who preferred to remain anonymous, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

"I don't know the sum, but I know for sure that they extorted money from him. Musaev paid no attention to their demands and threats; and, apparently, they decided to show him their resoluteness," said the source, adding that during the explosion nobody was in the Musaev's house, which received minor damage.
