Al Jazeera English - Europe - Police killed in Dagestan attack: "At least six police officers have died and another 16 wounded in Dagestan, in Russia's North Caucasus, after being targeted by a suicide car bomber.

The bomber tried to drive a Neva car packed with explosives into a traffic police depot on the outskirts of Makhachkala, the republic's capital, but was rammed by a police jeep before detonating the explosives."
