Bomb Attack Kills 14 in Russia's Ingushetia Region
At least 14 people have been killed in a bomb attack at a police station in southern Russia, officials and hospital sources say.
The suspected suicide bombing in Nazran, main city in the republic of Ingushetia, injured many others.
It is reported to have occurred as staff gathered in a courtyard. The bomber was thought to be among the dead, although this could not be confirmed, the BBC reported.
Ingushetia, which borders Chechnya, has recently been rocked by shootings, bombings and other attacks on police and government officials.
Less than a week ago Ingushetia's construction minister was shot dead by masked gunmen.
That followed the shooting dead of three employees of Russia's emergencies ministry.
