A vehicle packed with explosives blew up outside a government building in the Chechen capital Grozny on Friday causing fatalities. There were no firm details on the number of casualties. The agency said the explosion occurred only yards from a main government complex in the separatist region. "According to preliminary information, this was a car with explosives," an unnamed source said. Interfax had earlier said a government building was destroyed. The bomb attack came only hours after President Vladimir Putin told a news conference in Moscow that the only way forward in the rebel region was to follow the peace blueprint laid out by the Kremlin.
So, how's that roadmap, er, blueprint going, Vlad? |
