Suicide bomber kills two militiamen in North Ossetia
As a result of an explosion, committed today in the morning by a suicide bomber at the check point in the North-Ossetian-Ingush border, two militiamen were lost and three more wounded.
"Under preliminary data, the so-called 'suicide bomber's belt' was on a driver of a car moving across the check point from Ingushetia to North Ossetia. The car was stopped for examination. The terrorist demanded to call the head of the shift and then triggered his bomb," the RIA "Novosti" quotes the inspector as saying.
The ITAR-TASS adds that the power of the bomb made 300 grams in trotyl equivalent.
