Suicide attack kills at least 65

Suicide bombers in a pair of trucks roared up to the headquarters of the Kremlin-backed government in rebel Chechnya and blew them up today, killing at least 65 people and wounding more than 60.

The blasts wrecked much of the government headquarters and dealt a severe blow to the efforts of President Vladimir Putin’s government to portray the republic as returning to normal after more than three years of war between separatist guerrilla bands and a massive Russian military contingent.
