Chechnya bomber kills woman

A woman died of injuries she suffered in a suicide bombing that was aimed at the son of Chechnya’s administration chief.

Berlant Zakriyeva died from shrapnel wounds in hospital after being caught yesterday in a female bomber’s blast outside a base of a security force commanded by administration chief Akhmad Kadyrov’s son, Ramzan.

The bomber died instantly.

Zakriyeva lived in Tsatsan-Yurt, the village where the attack took place.

The attacker approached a building where Ramzan Kadyrov was reviewing members of his force and detonated her explosives after being halted by guards who thought she looked suspicious.

Female suicide bombers have carried out several attacks in Chechnya and Moscow in recent months.
