A car bomb blast near Russia's peacekeeping headquarters in South Ossetia has left six military personnel killed and four others injured.

The explosion took place on Friday near the command post of the Russian peacekeepers in Tskhinvali, the capital of the independence-leaning republic.

The car, with some quantities of arms in it, was seized earlier in a nearby village, said South Ossetia's press department, AP reported.

You love to throw with catchphrases around... Trying to portray the Russians as on our side here huh? This didn't happen in Inguchetia or Chechnya but in Russian occupied S-Ossetia, Georgia (Christian). Matter of factly the Russians employed Chechnyan Muslim paramilitaries as leashdogs against Georgian civilians.

They would sure like a war between the western powers.Russia, which I don't consider a western power, which has portrayed itself as "best friend of Islam" and is allied with Iran and Syria, started a war against a Christian western-oriented pro-American Georgia.

“S. Ossetia will be the new Afghanistan.”

You may want to consider the size of the 2 countries. The Russians could fully occupy all of Georgia in about 12 hours.

Yeahhh,,, Come on now, and quit acting that way. Ingushita, Chechnia are like a whole 75 MILES from there? How could they possibly see an opportunity to exploit it for islam by trying to strain US / Russian relations?
I mean,, that Beslan school mass murder was at least 50 miles north of S. Ossetia.

Muslims would never drive an hour to get rowdy. Thats just crazy talk!
