Woman bomber detonates near Chechen official in Grozny region
In Vladikavkaz, Russia, a 46 year old woman wearing explosives blew herself up among Muslim pilgrims near Akhmad Kadyrov during Muhammad’s birthday rites in Iliskhan Yurt. The blast wounded over 100 and killed another bomber. Kadyrov escaped unharmed. A second woman died without detonating. The incident follows Monday’s truck bomb outside a northern Chechnya government compound, which raised the toll to 59 with four more deaths. Officials linked the attacks to Chechen rebels while stressing uncertain motives and timing.
