At least four Russian police men were killed and four wounded Sunday in Russia's North Caucasus region, when a suicide bomber detonated explosives attached to his body as the personnel were trying to determine his identity."Beside the metal detectors located at the entrance to the concert hall, police noticed a suspicious young man. When they decided to detain and identify him the man detonated the bomb," a Russia's interior ministry statement said.Russian authorities said that the officers were able to prevent a large-scale terrorist attack, given that the suicide bomber was evidently intending to attend a popular concert on Grozny Day.

The statement said that the terrorist was identified as a young man from Grozny, "who left his home two months ago and about whom his relatives had known nothing since that time."
