2006-05-15
MOSCOW, May 15 (RIA Novosti) - Police in the north Caucasus region of Ingushetia have prevented a large-scale terrorist attack, a local law enforcement source said Monday.

An explosive device had been set up near a gas station in the town of Karabulak in central Ingushetia, the source said.

"A device consisting of two plastic bottles filled with TNT and shrapnel has been destroyed," the source said, adding that employees at the gas station had warned the police about a suspicious package.

Ingushetia borders on the troubled republic of Chechnya.
