Car bomb defused near hotel in Russian ski resort


Associated Press | Posted: Sunday, February 20, 2011 8:31 am 

Sappers in Russia's insurgency-plagued Caucasus region defused a car bomb placed near a hotel in a popular ski resort area, police said Sunday.

The car, wired with explosives with the equivalent power of about 70 kilograms (155 pounds), was found Saturday, a day after three Russian tourists headed for the ski area were killed by masked gunmen and a ski lift was heavily damaged in an explosion.

The car bomb was parked near a small hotel in Terskol, a village in Kabardino-Balkariya, one of the republics in the Caucasus region that is gripped by rising violence connected to Islamic insurgents and criminal gangs, police spokesman Maxim Ushanov said.

Terskol is near Mount Elbrus, Europe's tallest mountain and a popular winter sports destination.

Russian officials in January announced a $15 billion plan to develop five large ski resorts in the Caucasus, ...

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Masked gunmen shot dead three vacationers from the Moscow area on a road in Kabardino-Balkaria in the violence-plagued North Caucasus region, Russian news agencies reported on Saturday.

Separately, attackers blew up a cable-car support pole near Mount Elbrus in the same province late on Friday, bringing down dozens of cabins, news agencies reported. Nobody was hurt.

The attacks underscored the persistent violence in the North Caucasus, home to a spreading Islamist insurgency, and clouded the Kremlin's plans to draw investment and tourists by developing ski resorts in the region southeast of Sochi, where Russia is to host the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Assailants in a black car forced a minibus carrying five vacationers from the Moscow area to a halt and demanded to see their documents, Itar-Tass reported.

When the passengers asked to see identification, the assailants opened fire, killing ...

Kabardino-Balkaria jamaat commander Emir Zakaria (aka Ratmir Shameyev).


Amid reports by the Russian government that militant activity in Kabardino-Balkaria has increased four to five times (www.rosbalt.ru/2010/11/29/794929.html) –more than anywhere else in the North Caucasus region– local authorities are trying to belittle the role of rebel fighters against the backdrop of economic plans for the future development of the northwestern Caucasus republic.

It is hard to overlook the intensity of rebel actions given the killings of and bombings targeting police and Federal Security Service (FSB) officers as well as the assaults perpetrated against hunters in the foothills of Kabardino-Balkaria. In 2010, there were 108 attacks law enforcement personnel, including judges and prosecutors, in which 42 were killed. In addition, there were losses among the civilian population, with 31 people killed and 53 injured (http://news.mail.ru/inregions/caucasus/7/5216092/). All this happened against the backdrop of ...
