A suicide bomber 'screaming Allahu Akbar' blew himself up and injured six people today in an attack in southern Russia near FSB headquarters, reports said on Friday.
The country's National Anti-Terrorism Committee said an unidentified person tried to break into an area where police were conducting searches.
The person then triggered the bomb when officers tried to arrest him, the committee said, adding that 'six officers were lightly injured' in the blast.
The unidentified man carrying explosives also died at the scene.
The explosion was close to the FSB counterintelligence service's office in Uchkeken village in the volatile mainly-Muslim region of Karachay-Cherkessia.
Video shows his body on the ground, and an image emerged purportedly showing part of the explosive device.
'According to preliminary findings, the man shared the views of extremist groups and the militant underground,' said the source.
The incident was close to the FSB counterintelligence office in the village where a 'clap' was heard.
The attacker had got out of a car and walked up to a group of FSB officers who were conducting a 'criminal intelligence operation'.
'As law-enforcement attempted to arrest the person, he detonated explosives he carried on himself,' said the Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee.
'Six officers received minor injuries as a result of that, they are receiving medical help.'
One of those hurt was named as Asker Abdurazakov, deputy head of the department of the forensic centre at the Interior Ministry in the region.
Reports said there had been an earlier linked explosion five hours before the suicide bomber's attack.

Yeah...are the authorities looking for a motive???
Time for Tsar Bomba to visit Chechnya.
That’s going to have to be a closed casket funeral.
I’m sure they won’t take it personally or anything. If I was a friend or family member I wouldn’t worry a bit. /s
“Yeah...are the authorities looking for a motive???”
The Russians are much better, apparently, at this type of ‘detective work”.
That is, if they even did any.
muslim fragments are much more disgusting than pig fragments
I like how they don’t count to the bomber.
