A blast went off near the residence of Ingushetia’s President Murat Zyazikov. It is believed that this incident, just like previous incidents in the region, is aimed at destabilizing the republic.

Below is an article published by ITAR-TASS:

A blast went off late on Monday [16 July 2007] near the residence of Ingushetia’s President Murat Zyazikov in Nazran. Nobody was injured in the incident, the press secretary of the southern republic’s Interior Ministry, Yakhya Khadziyev, has told Itar-Tass.

He said the blast in the yard of the house owned by the Algasov family occurred at 10:25 pm, Moscow time. An investigation brigade is working at the site.

The shelling of a private house in the city of Nazran and a crime against the family of a local school teacher in the Ordzhonikidzevskaya settlement are aimed at destabilizing the situation in Russia’s southern republic of Ingushetia, the press secretary of the republican Interior Ministry told Tass on Monday [16 July 2007].
