MOSCOW — A suicide bomber targeted a traffic-police headquarters in the Russian republic of Dagestan on Wednesday morning, killing five officers and injuring 19 more.
As the SUV careened toward the building about 8 a.m., a team of police rammed a truck into the bomber’s vehicle. The explosives went off on impact, killing all of the officers in the truck but preventing the bomber from reaching his target.
Dagestan has been beset by tensions from a rising Islamist movement and clan rifts.
