CROWDS of mourners streamed to a village in the Chechen foothills yesterday to bury President Akhmad Kadyrov, killed by a bomb in Chechnya’s capital, and his widely-feared son was named a top official in the republic hours later.

Two suicide bombers were among up to eight people killed today when a truck packed with explosives blew up near a government compound in the Chechen capital Grozny.
