At least 15 people were killed yesterday and over 70 wounded when suicide bombing rocked a crowded central market in the Russian Caucasus city of Vladikavkaz, officials said. Officials said the blast was caused by a suicide bomber who drove up to a local market in an explosives-packed car. They warned the death toll was likely to go up as many people were in a critical condition.
The bombing created carnage around the market, with several cars reduced to wreckage by the blast and charred corpses laid out on stretchers, a correspondent at the scene reported.
