Death toll rises to 11 in south Russian bombings

THE death toll from two bomb attacks in Russia's southern region of Dagestan rose to 11 from nine today, Interfax news agency reported.

Investigators said a suicide bomber dressed in a police uniform set off the second of the blasts, which came two days after 39 people were killed by twin bombings in Moscow that authorities blamed on suicide attackers with links to insurgents in the turbulent North Caucasus.

Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim province adjacent to war-scarred Chechnya along Russia's southern border, is plagued by frequent attacks targeting police and government officials.
