Six Police Officers were killed and 14 others injured in Russia, when a suicide bomber blew up an explosives-laden car at a traffic police base in the republic of Dagestan bordering Chechnya. The bomber drove his car to Makha-Chkala, the capital of Daghestan, when policemen were lined up for the morning briefing. A police spokesman said, the larger tragedy was averted as the entry was blocked by a police vehicle before the blast was triggered. President Dmitry Medvedev, who is on a New Year holiday to the south Russian skiing resort of Sochi on the Black Sea coast, has ordered Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev and security chief Alexander Bortnikov to take the situation under their personal control in Daghestan. The Caucasian republic of Daghestan has been a scene of terror strikes and killing of security officers, including the the police chief, last year, Vesti-FM radio said.
