Same tactic as recently used in Iraq (radio detonated explosive)with an effective counter tactic (bomb sniffing dog) applied. Definitely not a cure-all, but it works in certain circumstances.
GROZNY, August 4 (Itar-Tass) - An act of terror has been averted in Chechnya by the engineer reconnaissance unit of the Interior troops’ commandant’s office on the Katar-Yurt-Orekhovo highway on Monday morning. The sappers defused a land mine. The law enforcement bodies of the Achkhoi-Martan region told Itar-Tass that the explosive device made of a mortar shell was planted at the roadside in a pile of construction waste. The bomb was detected by a sniffer dog. The mine was equipped by an electric detonator and a remote-control device of foreign make. The sappers rendered the bomb harmless on site, and nobody of the servicemen was hurt. The district police are searching for those involved.
