| Blasts and shooting on Friday killed at least four people in Russia's North Caucasus where the Kremlin is struggling to contain an Islamist In the town of Malgobek in Ingushetia, a police officer was killed and 10 people were injured when a blast struck as policemen attended the scene of another bomb that had earlier ripped through a store injuring a further three, a police spokesman told Reuters. In a separate incident, a female kiosk seller was gunned down in Malgobek by unidentified gunmen, Interfax reported, citing an unnamed source. Kiosk sellers have been targeted in the past for selling alcohol by Islamist militants wanting to enforce sharia law in Ingushetia. In nearby Dagestan, a witness who did not wish to be identified told Reuters that a gunman killed a spiritual leader by opening fire outside a mosque in a village, injuring one other person. Interfax reported that another shooting killed the district chief in Dagestan's Magaramkent region, about 167 km (103 miles) southeast of the regional capital Makhachkala, as he was driving in his car. |
