Dagestan bombing kills four, injures 44
2013-05-21
At least four people were killed and 44 were wounded after two bombs exploded Monday in the North Caucasus region, Russia's Ministry of Health's website says.

The incident, which occurred in Dagestan's capital Makhachkala, caused significant damage. Security officials say they believe law enforcement officers may have been targeted because the explosion occurred outside a local marshal's building.

One car bomb was discovered by a police patrol, who called in a unit to defuse it. Before they could do that, the bomb went off, but the explosion was minor. After a crowd of people had gathered, a second, more powerful device detonated, causing the casualties.

Russia has been on edge over terrorist militant activity and its security forces announced on Monday that they foiled a terror attack planned for Moscow.

A National Anti-Terror Committee spokesman said security forces killed two terrorists militants and detained another. All three were described as Russian citizens trained in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Security forces conducted their operation in the Orekhovo-Zuevo region of the Moscow suburbs.
