    EXPLOSIONS DESTROY RUSSIAN CELLPHONE TOWERS

    June 25 2006

    Two cellphone base station towers have been destroyed in explosions
    in Russia's North Ossetia. The region which borders Georgia's South
    Ossetia, has been subject to some ethnic conflicts, and following the
    Beslan School siege, attitudes to central Moscow have hardened. The
    Interfax news agency reported that no injuries occurred at the
    explosion near the villages of Kurtak and Dachnoye, citing local
    police. A second base station was destroyed in the regional capital,
    Vladikavkaz.

    A third explosion occurred in capital of Russia's Republic of
    Daghestan, although it was aimed at the building of the Emergency
    Situations Ministry. Both North Ossetia and Daghestan neighbour the
    strive ridden regions of Chechnya and Ingushetia.

    North Ossetia has a sizeable group of non-native Ingush and Armenian
    population; however, a portion of the Ingush population left for
    Ingushetia with the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the outbreak
    of interethnic conflict in the region. At the same time, refugees
    from neighboring republics, mostly South Ossetia, resettled in North
    Ossetia.
