June 2000 Chechnya suicide bombings

The June 2000 Chechnya suicide bombings were Chechnya's first suicide attacks with car bombs.
On 6 June 2000, the 17-year-old Khava Barayeva, accompanied by 16-year-old Luiza Magomadova, drove a truck loaded with explosives through a checkpoint of an OMON base at Alkhan-Yurt in Chechnya. Barayeva detonated her bomb outside the barracks, killing a number of paramilitary police troops.
Another suicide bombing, which killed two OMON troops at a checkpoint leading to the Khankala base, was carried five days later on June 11 by a former Russian prisoner of war Sergey Dimitriyev who had converted to Islam and joined the rebels while in captivity.
