Russia: Explosions in Dagestan Kill 13, Wound More Than 120



Via The Moscow Times:
Two explosions went off at a traffic post in Makhachkala late Thursday, killing at least 13 people and wounding more than 120 in what police have unequivocally ruled a terrorist attack.

A suicide bomber heading out of Makhachkala, the regional capital of the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan, detonated the first explosive at the Alaska-30 traffic station around 10:20 p.m. The exact sequence of events is unclear, with one version of the story that the terrorists rammed the checkpoint building with their car and setting off the explosions, and another that they detonated the bomb after police became suspicious of the vehicle and decided to check it as it was leaving the city.
