Bombenanschlag mit möglichem IS-Hintergrund in Dagestan (Meldung von vor zwei Wochen):

Deadly car bombing strikes Russia's Dagestan

A powerful car bomb exploded Monday at a police checkpoint in Russia's Dagestan republic, killing two officers and the car's driver and wounding 19 others, in what appears to have been a suicide attack, investigators said.

The attack was organized by militants who have sworn allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), said Rasul Temirbekov, spokesman for the Dagestani branch of the federal Investigative Committee. [...] Dagestan has been the center of an insurgency that spread across the Caucasus region after two separatist wars in neighboring Chechnya. For more than a decade, Dagestan has seen bombings, attacks on police and kidnappings blamed on the militants.
