Many killed in Russia bomb attack
Source: BBC

At least 19 people have been killed by a powerful bomb at a police station in southern Russia, officials and hospital sources say.

The suspected suicide attack in Nazran, the main city in the republic of Ingushetia, injured more than 60, including some children.

The explosion gutted the building as police lined up for a shift change.
Ingushetia borders Chechnya and has seen a spate of shootings, bombings and other attacks on police and government.

Analysts say the violence spilled over from Chechnya - where rebels have fought against Russian control since the 1990s - in the early part of the decade and has now firmly taken root in Ingushetia.

1. Suicide Bomber Kills at Least 20, Injures Dozens in Russia
MOSCOW, Aug. 17 -- A suicide bomber crashed a truck packed with explosives into a police building in Russia's volatile Ingushetia province Monday, triggering a blast that killed at least 20 people and injured scores of others, authorities said.

The attack was the deadliest in recent months in the North Caucasus, where the Kremlin has been put on the defensive by separatist violence and its security forces have been accused of employing harsh tactics against civilians.
