One man appears from the mangled wreckage and staggers back and forth until he is rescued by a jeep, which appears about 30 seconds later. A second, smaller explosion follows about a minute after the jeep’s arrival. “Resulting from a successful attack of the Chechen mujahedin [Muslim holy warriors], a bus was almost completely destroyed along with 15 occupiers and traitors,” a statement posted with the video said. “One of the collaborators by some kind of miracle was left alive after the explosion. … A second explosion, a couple of minutes later, destroyed another two occupiers,” it added.
