(Reuters) - At least three people were killed and 33 wounded on Sunday when a suicide bomber rammed a car packed with explosives into a military camp in Russia's southern region of Dagestan, the Defense Ministry said.

The bomber tried to drive a Lada car containing about 50 kg (110 lb) of explosives onto a firing range where the 136th Motorised Brigade had set up camp outside the town of Buynaksk, about 50 km (30 miles) west of the local capital Makhachkala.

But soldiers blocked the bomber's path with a military truck, preventing what investigators said would have been a much more deadly attack had the bomber reached tents where hundreds of soldiers were sleeping.

I guess all that cozying up to Iran isn’t working out for them.

Waiting with bated breath to hear the results of Russia’s response. I’m sure it will be akin to the way they “release” Somali pirates.

300 miles from shore with the current away in a blowup liferaft, no propulsion, no oars, no cover, no water, no radio and no life vests in shark infested waters. Hey, works for me.

Russia has been harder on militant islam in the past than any other country. They flattened Grozny to a parking lot.
