Bomb blast injures 12 in Russia's Chechnya
2008-06-11
A bomb explosion in a cafe in Russia's turbulent Chechnya region injured eight policemen and four other people on Monday night, investigators said on Tuesday. "It was a terrorist act," said Maryam Nalayeva of the Chechen department of the Russian Prosecutor General's Investigative Committee. "Investigators have established that a homemade explosive device went off in the cafe. We are working to determine its type," she said,

Investigators initially said that a domestic gas canister had caused the explosion.

The blast went off on Monday night in the 'Dallas' cafe in the Leninsky district of Grozny, the Chechen capital that was devastated by two separatist wars since 1994, but has been largely rebuilt over the past few years.

#2  I like the way they refer to it as "Russia's Chechnya" as in the Chechnya region of Russia. What has this world come to when even al Rooters neglects to pay proper lip service to the legitimate aspirations for independence of the brave Chechnyan Lions of IslamTM?

#1  Next time those commie a-hole, democracy poseurs are riding our ass about some flippant complaint of how we do things in Iraq/ME someone should throw Chechnya up in their face.
