| 2013-11-25 |
| A man who was blown up by his own bomb on Saturday was responsible for preparing a terrorist attack on a bus in the southern Russian city of Volgograd in October. The dead suspect, Suleiman Magomedov, was a member of a terrorist group in the city of Makhachkala, the capital of the republic of Dagestan. A statement by Russia's Anti-Terror Committee stated, "He played a central role in a series of terrorist crimes...including an attack on a traffic police post in Makhachkala in May this year...and the recent explosion by a female suicide bomber on a passenger bus in Volgograd." The committee said Magomedov died in an explosion as he was placing his 11-pound TNT bomb for an attack on a police post on Saturday evening. An accomplice who was wounded in the blast is on the run. |
