A car bomb killed a boy and injured 11 people Monday in Chechnya's regional
capital of Grozny, a regional interior ministry official said.
A car loaded with explosives blew up outside a popular restaurant in Grozny
in the afternoon, killing a 12-year-old boy and injuring 11 people including
four policemen, Chechen deputy interior minister Akhmed Dakayev was quoted by
the Interfax news agency as saying.
A hospital official said three of the injured are in serious conditions.
The blast came a day after five federal servicemen were killed and two others
wounded in a Chechen village during an operation to help a local administrator
whose home was attacked by rebels.
Chechnya has been plagued by frequent bombings and kidnappings blamed on
separatist rebels. The Russian government intensified operations to rein in
separatists there since the Beslan school siege, which killed over 330 people
last September in the southern republic of North Ossetia.
