| Liquor store bombing suspects identified in Dagestan |
| 2013-11-02 |
Russian officials say they have identified two suspects behind a bombing in the capital of the Russian republic of Dagestan.
A spokesman from the investigative committee said on October 31 that two Makhachkala residents -- Magomedrasul Shakhbanov and Makhmud Aliyev -- are suspected of being behind the two explosions, which occurred the previous day. Two people were killed and 15 were wounded in the attack, which apparently targeted a liquor store.
Islamic insurgents in Dagestan areas in the northern Caucasus region frequently attack liquor stores and other public places selling alcoholic beverages. |
