In traditional al Qaeda style, Chechnyan islamic terrorists set off a bomb in the capital of Chechnya and when police forces arrived on the scene, set off a second bomb that killed one policeman and wounded a number of others.
It's all just a reminder to the Russians and others in the region - submit to Islam or die. Perhaps Barack Hussein Obama needs to make another Cairo speech?

Bomb in Chechnya kills policeman, injures 14
GROZNY (Reuters) - A policeman was killed in a bomb attack in the Chechen capital Grozny late on Friday that also injured 14 people, a local law enforcement official said.
The deadly explosion, at about 10:30 p.m. (1830 GMT), was detonated by remote control about 10 minutes after police and civilians gathered at the site of another blast.
"Three of the injured were civilians. The rest were policemen," Maryam Nalaeyeva, an official in the local prosecutor's office, told Reuters early on Saturday.
A surge in bombings and shootings in Chechnya and the neighbouring territories of Dagestan and Ingushetia has raised questions about the Kremlin's ability to keep control of the mainly Muslim region.
Analysts see a danger of the area descending into open civil war, fuelled by Islamist militancy, clan rivalries, corruption, poverty and brutal law enforcement.
