Russia finds more bombs

I guess it was last week that some car bombs went off in Russia in the weeks leading up to the Olympics in Sochi, well, it seems that they found four more bombs in cars rigged up to dead bodies. One was detonated, according to the Washington Times;

Russian authorities are on high alert Thursday after finding six dead men in four abandoned cars, three of which had been rigged with explosives.

Police said all the victims had been shot. The bodies were discovered Wednesday near the town of Pyatigorsk, The Guardian reported.

Only one of the bombs actually detonated, and nobody was injured in the blast, investigators told The Guardian.

Says The Guardian;

Three men whose bodies were in three of the cars have been identified: two were taxi drivers and the third assembled furniture for a private businessman, Russian state news agencies reported, citing law enforcement agencies. Their names have not been released. The men were said to be local residents and drove inexpensive Soviet-model Lada cars.

The three other victims were found late on Wednesday in a fourth vehicle. An explosive device had been placed next to the car in a metal bucket, but was defused by investigators, Markin said.

Explosives had also been placed near two of the other cars; one of the devices went off as police approached and the other was defused.

I’m guessing that someone has a grudge against those cars.
