On-Don, Russia, October 26, SPA--Separate bomb blasts wounded two government officials and a police officer in Ingushetia on Sunday, the latest in a string of attacks targeting officials in the troubled region of Russia, according to AP. The attacks, reported by the regional Interior Ministry, have raised fears that Ingushetia is collapsing into anarchy like neighboring Chechnya. The ministry said in a statement that a car driven by deputy economics minister Arsamak Zyazikov _ a relative of the region's deeply unpopular president _ exploded in Ingushetia's main city Nazran. Said Kotiev, an aide to Ingush President Murat Zyazikov, also was slightly wounded. The ministry said a bomb exploded at about the same time in a car being driven by a police officer in the village of Ordzhonikidzevsky, outside of Nazran. The officer was seriously wounded. It was unclear whether the two blasts were connected, and no one immediately claimed responsibility for them.
