Two Blasts Hit South Russia Republic
2006-03-17
A bomb went off on a railroad near the town of Karabulak in Ingushetia, a Caucasus republic bordering the breakaway Chechnya early on Friday. Soon it was followed by an explosion ripped through a cell phone base transmitter in IngushetiaÂ’s Nazran district, local media reported. No one was injured in the attacks.

The first blast occurred as a locomotive pulling five-oil tank cars was moving on the railroad not far from an oil base. The railway track was damaged. Investigators are working at the blast scene. People linked to the explosion are being searched for.

Later in early morning unknown people blew up a mobile phone base station located in the yard of the local administrationÂ’s building in the village of Ekazhevo in the Nazran district of Ingushetia. The facility was heavily damaged in the incident. The blast also set fire to a low-pressure pipeline supplying the village with gas.
