一名自殺式炸彈殺手星期一開著一輛載有炸藥的卡車沖進俄羅斯南部印古什共和國的一個警察局，炸死20人，炸傷100多人。

　　當局說，納茲蘭的爆炸案是俄羅斯南部共和國最近幾年來發生的最嚴重的爆炸襲擊。當時警官們正在排隊進行早點名。警方說，這名自殺式炸彈殺手駕駛著輕型卡車沖過建筑物的大門，車上載有超過200公斤的炸藥。警方開火，卻未能阻止襲擊。 

　　目擊者形容爆炸現場是一片廢墟，到處是焚燒的車輛、扭曲變形的輪胎和燒焦的樹木。附近的建筑物也嚴重受損。

　　由俄羅斯任命的印古什共和國總統葉夫庫羅夫說，星期一的這次襲擊是激進分子對最近車臣邊境的安全掃蕩進行報復。葉夫庫羅夫兩個月前在另外一次自殺式炸彈襲擊中受了重傷。

　　Truck Bomb Kills 20 in Russia's Caucasus Region

　　A suicide bomber rammed a truck loaded with explosives into a police headquarters in Russia's southern republic of Ingushetia Monday, killing 20 people and injuring more than 100. 

　　Authorities say the bombing in Nazran -- the deadliest in Russia's southern republics in recent years -- occurred as police officers lined up for morning roll call. Police say the bomber crashed through the gates of the facility in a light truck packed with 200 kilograms of explosives. Police gunfire failed to stop the attack.

　　Witnesses described a scene of devastation, with burned-out vehicles, twisted rubble and charred trees littering the area. Nearby buildings were also heavily damaged.

　　Ingushetia's Kremlin-appointed President Yunus-Bek Yevkurov -- badly wounded in another suicide bombing two months ago -- said Monday's attack was an attempt by militants to avenge recent security sweeps along the Chechen border.
