“2 Killed as Militants Attack Russian Hydropower Plant”
Gabe Joselow | Moscow 21 July 2010

SNIPPET: “Assailants armed with guns and explosives burst into the Baksanskaya power plant around dawn. They set off a string of bombs that damaged equipment in the machine room and started a fire that authorities rushed to put out.

The company says two turbines were destroyed and the facility has been shut down. But officials say electricity is still being supplied to the region through nearby power plants.

The attack occurred in Kabardino-Balkaria, a republic in Russia’s volatile North Caucasus, where authorities have been confronting an Islamist insurgency.”

SNIPPET: “In the meantime, officials from Kabardino-Balkaria told President Dmitri Medvedev that steps are being taken to tighten security at other strategic facilities in the republic.”
