Two suicide bombers including, one impersonating a police officer, have killed 12 people in southern Russia two days after deadly suicide bombings blamed on the region's militants killed 39 passengers on the Moscow subway.
A suicide bomber yesterday detonated explosives when police tried to stop the bomber's car in the town of Kizlyar near Dagestan's border with Chechnya, Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev said in televised comments. There have been no claims of responsibility for either set of attacks.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said yesterday's blasts in the province of Dagestan may have been organised by "the same gang." "This is a crime against Russia."
