8 People Killed in Russia Blast
Neil Richard Leslie | November 07, 20088 people have been killed after a blast hit a minibus in Vladikavkaz. According to the BBC, the bomb was planted outside a busy market in the North Caucasus town. Vladikavkaz is the capital of North Ossetia which has, like neighbouring Ingushetia and Chechnya, suffered sporadic violence from militant groups. Investigators say the attack was well prepared and believe that the bomb may have been detonated by a female suicide attacker.
North Ossetia was the scene of the Beslan school siege in 2004, when pro-Chechen militants seized schoolchildren and teachers. It ended with more than 300 people dead after a bungled assault by Russian troops. So far no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Russia's President Dmitri Medvedev has ordered an investigation into the blast by the FSB.
