| Car Bomb Explodes Near Chechen Government Building |
| 2003-06-20 |
| 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? |

| #2 Update: At least one person was killed today when two large explosions rocked a district near a government compound in the Chechen capital Grozny. A woman died in one blast near the region’s Economic Ministry and another blast went off nearby, but it was unclear if it had caused any casualties. |

| #1 Oops! A truck packed with explosives blew up near a government building in Chechnya's regional capital on Friday, in a failed attack which killed two suicide bombers aboard it and wounded dozens of others. Emergency officials said at least 36 people were injured in the blast yards from a high-security complex of official buildings in Grozny. Four were taken to hospital. "The truck was driving toward the complex of government buildings, but exploded before it got there," Khamid Adayev, deputy head of Chechnya's Interior Ministry, told Interfax news agency. Another fine example of evolution at work. |
