Russian investigators work on the site of an explosion at a military firing ground “Dalny” outside the town of Buinaksk in Dagestan on September 5, 2010. A suicide bombing at a military installation in Russia’s volatile North Caucasus region of Dagestan killed five people and wounded 39, Ria Novosti news agency said, citing a top security source.
MAKHACHKALA - A suicide bomber rammed into a Russian firing range killing five people and wounding scores on Sunday in the volatile North Caucasus region of Dagestan, law enforcement sources said. The explosives-packed car attacked a military base used by the motor rifle brigade at Dalny near the city of Buynaksk, some 40 kilometres (30 miles) west of the local capital Makhachkala, said the sources, who refused to be identified. “Five people are dead. Three of
them died on the spot and another two in hospital,” a law enforcement source told AFP, adding that the blast had hurt at least another 35 people, two of whom were in critical condition. Russia’s defence ministry promptly imposed a state of heightened security at military installations in its Southern Military District — made up of the mainly Muslim regions along Russia’s southern flank. However, it put the death toll from the blast at three and said 33 people were wounded. Continued on page 6
