A powerful bomb exploded in the Chechen capital, Grozny, yesterday, killing a policeman and wounding two Russian soldiers, the Russian media reported. Local authorities immediately cancelled the annual Victory Day parade marking the defeat of Nazism in World War II.

The bomb had been planted in a derelict building about 50 yards from the stadium where the parade was to be held. The explosion was a reminder of the bomb blast on Victory Day last year at Kaspiysk, in neighbouring Dagestan, in which 45 people, many of them Russian troops, died. Four Russian servicemen were wounded in two other bomb attacks in Chechnya over the previous 24 hours. |
