Bomber kills 7 Russian policemen at funeral - seattlepi.com
ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia (AP) — A suicide bomber blew himself up as policemen in southern Russia gathered Sunday for the funeral of a slain colleague, killing at least seven of the policemen and badly wounding 12 other people, investigators said.

The funeral was held at the home of an officer who had been shot dead the night before by militants in Ingushetia, one of the predominantly Muslim republics in Russia's restive North Caucasus region.

In the nearby republic of Dagestan, two masked gunmen burst into a Shiite mosque during Saturday evening prayers and opened fire, wounding eight people, police said.

Shiites are a minority in Dagestan and throughout the North Caucasus, where an Islamic insurgency has raged for years.

More attacks on Shias.

Looks like this conspiracy theory of a greater Wahhabi plan to spread Wahhabism is not a conspiracy, after all.
