killed in a car bombing at a market in russia's volatile north caucasus region more than one hundred others were injured in the attack in the republic of north of setia three suspects have been detained while security has been tightened across the region. following the attack we've spoken to a number of eyewitnesses those who are either in the market when the car bomb exploded or live nearby one local told us that she sadly become accustomed to living in fear. censuring key streets have been cordoned off i live in the city center who heard the blast but couldn't tell where it came from who learned from our neighbors that there had been an explosion at the market national did not let my child go to school i heard that there might be a second blast as is often the case we are living in the tinderbox people are being evacuated from the building and i cannot answer it i don't know what's awaiting me i cannot reach anyone no connection is poor it's impossible to dial a single number i cannot even get through to my own home basically the situation is

very difficult it's impossible to get used to it but we have to live with it. islamic leaders in russia have criticized the attack claiming it was deliberately time to cause maximum islam maximum insult to muslims look out over the arc of this act of terror is an attempt to scare the people and is aimed at the dinner gratian of islam as a religion of muslims around the world and in russia have been waiting for the end of ramadan and these people who carried out this attack wanted to overshadow people's feelings ahead of this holy celebration and they have succeeded in doing this in northern syria as it's now in mourning and these people must pay for what they've done yes you know if you were to do security analyst alexander sullivan of says the militants behind the attack are linked to al-qaeda and aim to establish a foothold in the region i see this is this just if that's the science it's serious and actually. the snow is lead is a. pianist and in fact they are atheists to

civilize feet the situation says and exceptional asia they are trying thanks. so that's first of all and they're trying to. show that they are they have ceased there but still there were attempts to destabilize the soviet period russia and such will slow. today's attack is not an isolated incident but instead part of a concerted campaign of terror in the north caucasus that's the view of sergei are right you know from the russian academy of sciences. at this particular case of which these tragic events have an ole miss frequency it's not the first time a blast as occurred at the same market so we may suggest it's hardly an accident but rather a trend a sudden organization of islamic fanatics is behind it but the system move it soon enough planned to reiki organize such attacks political expert an editor in chief of slow magazine viktor linnik says the terrorists behind the attack had

a bigger agenda than just causing chaos among the people we're dealing here with is i think a sustained and determined effort on the part of some to create political instability . on the eve of a presidential and parliamentary elections to which russia is moving very fast. and i think that this is impossible without money and assistance from from outside of russia. all schools in kindergartens were also evacuated vladikavkaz this morning after a telephone warning claimed one of them might be bombed and bremer taz in from the ria novosti news agency says today's events show the terrorists have been waiting to seize their opportunity. to round up with i think terrorists want to seek revenge for the beslan school siege during this year's commemoration events the security forces were on high alert so no terrorist attacks were carried out now

security measures have been slightly weakened the terrorists attack people i'm almost sure that extremists are behind this blast probably with foreign support but of course we can't say for sure which organization is behind the attack the terrorists which blew up the car just want to destabilize the situation in the north caucasus and discredit the current leaders in the area they want to show that the states of thirty's are feeling to provide stability in the region. from the international federation for peace and conciliation says the fight against terror can only be won with an international effort i think that all the people politicians the military the security forces they have to think together to build a village a civil society and be the spiritual leader or some of the to understand what is really going on it's necessary to really unify the efforts in the in the country first of all and also it should be aerial international cooperation in the fight against terrorism because this is not only the local routes which creates the

we won the championship last year in the czech republic and i thought something still inside me and i want to still play hockey and play ok joe. it's something new for me and i want to play for myself but i just don't have probably gonna win the games and compete for the championship despite being in a major most goaltenders let alone full to be. their skates pushing since he's good and great to stand but he campaigned. across here when i was in shape. to play like eighty nine games but i don't always. the war devoted coach says it's always his decision i would like to play i don't know what's eighty percent of the games but we'll see it's going to be having been in most cases just under a mum and she is well aware that he has a tough season ahead of him fully admits being a child is still the world's strongest league since the cage show is growing in cheering from peculiarity especially around europe and its quarter i don't know how

on that the that is a big. player said people stop the role of already more of it's really big in russian and starting to be because they need help also we don't want the aussie i could watch not only n.h.l. games from the chickie but also. the it's getting we. should certainly feel at home or just take the moscow they will have six players with all the chicks they want here as have his head coach mills read this one of the main reasons will hinge on the spot time you can have all been the favorite with this year's going come together they did it he could put it but bowed to a talented but improving group of players which of them will be don't see. that brings us on to the canvas where revenge will be very much in samuel peters mind this saturday night's the nigerian taking on i b s w b o b o heavyweight boxing champion in a rematch of their fight from some five years ago that night peter trouble the
