| One policemen has been killed and two heavily wounded in a terror act in North Ossetia, North Caucasus. As RIA Novosti knows from the republican interior ministry, the explosion went off seven kilometres off the village of Chermen, North Ossetia's Prigorsky district, blowing up a GAS-2410 car. The car was carrying three policemen of the second battalion for guarding the administrative border with Chechnya, who were employed in ensuring security of the sowing campaign. Nikolai Kortyayev died of wounds at the scene. Miroslav Sagkayev and Alimbek Gabarayev were taken to hospital in a grave condition. An investigating group, which involves sappers, found out that it was an anti-tank mine equivalent to six kilogrammes of TNT. Investigators believe the mine was planted not long before the incident since nothing had obstructed the motorway traffic throughout Sunday. |
