"Investigation work on the road from Nazran to Magas, along which the president was driving on Tuesday, is over. Experts have collected the required probes and taken them to the laboratory", Tomova said.

She said that among the exhibits are body fragments of, most probably, suicide terrorists.

"Supposedly, two persons were found in the car which exploded near the presidential escort. Experts are now studying the body fragments", she said.
