Deputy Chechen Interior Minister Ruslan Alkhanov, who was present at the scene of the bombing, told Interfax that one of Abramov\'s guards was killed in the explosion. Two more people, members of Abramov\'s convoy, were seriously wounded. He said that the bomb went off as Abramov\'s convoy was leaving the area after Abramov had finished inspecting objects, which are to be restored in the district. Abramov\'s car had already passed the bomb when it exploded. Investigators are working at the crime scene. Measures are being taken to identify and detain those involved in the bombing, Alkhanov said. A source in the presidential administration told Interfax that Abramov visited the area with a group of experts from Moscow, headed by president of the Grazhdanstroiproekt enterprise Mikhail Khestin. None of Khestin\'s associates were harmed in the attack. (Interfax)
