#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.

#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 regionâs Economic Ministry and another blast went off nearby, but it was unclear if it had caused any casualties.
