| A prosecutorÂ’s assistant in Russia's north Caucasus was killed Tuesday when unknown assailants detonated a bomb under his car. The explosion occurred just after Ruslan Gasanov got into the vehicle outside his home in Dagestan, according to a regional spokesman for RussiaÂ’s Investigative Committee. Gasanov, who was an aide to the district prosecutor in Buinaksk died instantly. The suicide bomber who killed 17 people at the train station in Volgograd last Sunday was a resident of Buinaksk. Piotr Pechionkin, an ethnic Slav, settled in Buinaksk in 2012 and took the Islamic name Ansar ar-Rusi. |
