13 persons injured by terror act in Ingushetia
Under the latest data, as a result of the terror acts committed today in Karabulak, two persons were lost and 13 more wounded. President of Ingushetia asked the Kremlin to render material aid to the casualties and victims.
According to the Investigatory Committee at the Prosecutor's Office (ICPO) of the Russian Federation, as a result of the first explosion of a car committed by a suicide-bomber, two trainees-militiamen were lost, and four more persons suffered. After the second explosion, seven militiamen, the acting public prosecutor of the city of Karabulak and one civilian were wounded.
Vakha Chapanov, head of the IA "Maximum", told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that the surnames of the lost militiamen were Nalgiev and Kostoev; they were servicemen of the Patrol-Post Service (PPS).
Under preliminary information, the power of the explosion was about 50 kg in trotyl equivalent, as the RBC reports.
President of Ingushetia Yunus-Bek Evkurov wrote a letter to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin asking him to provide material aid to the victims of the terror act in Karabulak at the same rate as to the victims of the explosions in Moscow and Kizlyar, the "Ingushetia.Org" reports.
According to Mr Evkurov, the terror acts in Moscow, Kizlyar and Karabulak are the links of one chain. "The character of execution, the similar manner and the used tactics of a twin explosion allow concluding so far that these crimes were committed by same organizers," the "Gazeta.Ru" quotes Ingush President as saying.
