Press release No. 346, January 22, 2003

Reconstructed buildings are blown up again & Appeals

Report from the Chechen Republic

Grozny

On January 17, 2003 about 21.00 in Grozny there was a major explosion.

Our correspondent came to the place of the accident.

As he managed to find out, the bomb was put in the first floor of the Medical College. At the moment of the explosion only guards were in. Luckily, nobody was hurt. Still the glass in the windows of the College and other nearby buildings was broken. Members of the College administration declared that they would do their best to repair everything before the beginning of the new semester. At present  students are on vacation.

Militiamen and College administrators wonder what aim the organizers of the blow pursued. Recently in the Chechen Republic, especially in the capital, reconstructed objects are subject to explosions and arsons.
