Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Last Updated: Tuesday, 19 July, 2005, 16:11 GMT Explosion in Chechnya 'kills 14' Fourteen people have been killed and more than 20 injured in an explosion in Chechnya, reports from Russia say. Officials said a police car was shot at and blown up in Znamenskoye, 60km (37 miles) north of the capital, Grozny. Chechen President Alu Alkhanov has blamed the attack on separatist rebels led by Shamil Basayev, Russian news agency Itar-Tass reports. Russia's President Vladimir Putin has ordered an acceleration of plans to tighten borders in the region, it adds. Tuesday's incident happened in Chechnya's north western Nadterechny district, usually considered to be under the control of Russian security forces. Police 'ambushed' Mr Putin told his government that plans to reinforce troops along Russia's volatile southern Caucasus border must be implemented " as quickly as possible " . Meanwhile, security forces have begun the hunt for those responsible for the explosion at about 1330 (0930 GMT) in Znamenskoye. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4696539.stm Dear List Members, Dasha is Ma/Su/Ve/Ra/Ma.
