Moscow - Five people were injured Tuesday when a suicide bomber blew up a mini-bus in Dagestan, Interfax news agency quoted the republic's Interior Ministry spokesman Mark Tochinsky as saying. The explosive was rigged to a woman's belt and killed her immediately after she triggered it, officials said. The blast occurred around 100 metres from a police road block in Dagestan's Kazbek district, where attacks have surpassed those in neighbouring Chechnya in recent months. The head of the State Duma committee on security Vladimir Vasilyev declared Tuesday that the number of terrorist attacks in Russia in 2007 had decreased 60 per cent over 2006. Vasilyev was speaking ahead of the fifth anniversary of the 2002 Dubrovka theatre siege, in which Chechen rebels took hundreds of theatregoers hostage. At least 129 hostages died in the attack. © 2007 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
