Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, has sacked a senior interior minister in Ingushetia, after 20 people were killed by a powerful bomb there.

Officers were apparently targetted as they reported for inspection. At least 60 other people were injured, and local hospitals struggled to cope as blood supplies ran out.
