Wilayah of Ghalghaycho. Grenades Fired at the House of Karabulak Mayor

Attackers fired several rocket propelled grenades at a house in the village of Yandare in the Wilayah of Ghalghaycho (Ingushetia), Saturday night at 11:10 PM, 12 Muharram 1429 (19.01.2008). The house belongs to Zelimkhan Yevloyev, the mayor of Karabulak town. Two hours later a loud explosion was heard in the village, reportedly caused by Russian explosives experts who detonated a grenade that hit the roof of the house but failed to explode. 

It was at least the second attack on a house of a puppet government official during the last three days in Ingushetia. Thursday night in downtown Nazran gunmen unleashed barrage of gunfire on the house of Ibrahim Malsagov, the chairman of the puppet pro-Russian government of Ingushetia. According to some reports, Rashid Nurgaliyev, the Russian Minister of Interior, was visiting Malsagov’s house at the time of the attack.
