Act of terrorism in Dagestan

Another terrorist act against police officers was committed in the capital of Dagestan, Makhachkala, at about 1.00 pm MSK today.

A bomb detonated in the Reduktornyi community on the outskirts of Makhachkala on a road to Kaspiisk while a PAZ bus with riot police officers from the Stavropol territory was going by.

Four policemen were wounded, two of them seriously, the press service of Dagestan's Internal Affairs Ministry told Interfax.

The Stavropol police force had been sent to Dagestan for counter-terrorist activities.

A second explosive device was found within 10-15 metres of the first one, in a bucket with "Victory or Paradise!" written on it. This bomb is likely to have failed to detonate along with the first one.
