MAKHACHKALA, Russia – Two suicide bombers including one impersonating a police officer killed 12 people in southern Russia on Wednesday, two days after deadly suicide bombings blamed on the region’s militants tore through the Moscow subway system.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Wednesday’s blasts in the province of Dagestan may have been organized by the same militants who attacked the Moscow subway.
“I don’t rule out that this is one and the same gang,” Putin was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying at Cabinet meeting. The powerful former president previously vowed to “drag out of the sewer” the terrorists who carried out the Moscow attacks, which killed 39 and injured scores more.
