The incident happened ahead of a concert dedicated to City Day. According to the Internal Affairs Ministry, police forces noticed a suspicious man outside a concert hall.
"Police officers who were manning metal detectors at the entrance of the concert hall noticed a suspicious young man. When the police officers decided to check the individual, the man blew himself up," a local police officer told RIA news agency.
Arriving at the scene, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said the suicide bomber approached security forces and introduced himself as "a law enforcement staffer." Police still proceeded to search him, Kadyrov added.
There were no immediate reports of civilian deaths or injuries, the Ministry said.
Comment: Interesting timing. The only question is, whodunnit: USrael, or USrael with Arab Monarch partners?
The U.S. recently began bombing Syria - supposedly to eradicate IS (which it created) but actually to pursue its agenda of toppling the Assad government and gaining a new geopolitical foothold in the region. The only thing standing in its way is Moscow's complete refusal to allow this to happen, as demonstrated last year when the Russians placed naval ships off the shore of Syria as a show of its willingness to defend the country militarily, and helped diffuse an impending attack on Syria through some impressive diplomatic moves, ie. the negotiated destruction of Syria's chemical weapons. Now the U.S. is coming very close once again to crossing the line of death and destruction in the name of humanitarianism. And the U.S. knows that Russia knows this. But 'gosh-golly-darn', those freedom-loving Americans just can't help themselves, can they?
Saudi Arabia has a big stake in toppling Assad and is closely aligned with the U.S.'s objectives. They have not only helped foment the rebels in Syria, but would like to have a large financial cut in the gas pipeline that will be built within it. So this recent, seemingly isolated lone suicide bomber, could well be a message from both Saudi Arabia and the U.S.: don't interfere with what we're trying to do, or we'll make trouble for you within your borders. But as the U.S. and Saudi Arabia probably should have gathered by now, Putin doesn't scare easily.
