Female suicide bomber kills six in Russia

August 28, 2012 22:37

AFP reports: A female suicide bomber posing as a pilgrim killed a top Islamic scholar and at least five others in Russia's restive Muslim region of Dagestan.

President Vladimir Putin immediately reacted saying such attacks would fail to undermine Russia's spirit of religious tolerance.

The Caspian Sea region's interior ministry said the attack claimed the life of one of Dagestan's most respected religious leaders who defended moderate Islam against the rise of radical militancy.
