Chechnya issue is again heating up, the regular bomb explosion is clear indication that the rebel forces are once again trying to gain ground.In a latest suicide bomb explosion incident, three police officer died. Last week explosion killed 25 people.

Authorities in Chechnya say three police officers have been killed in a suicide bombing in a town near the restive region's capital.

A spokesman for the Chechen Interior Ministry, Magomed Diniyev, says the blast took place about midday Tuesday in a gas station-carwash complex in the town of Mesker-Yurt.

The attack is the latest in a rising wave of violence against police and soldiers in Russia's North Caucasus. At least 25 people died in the Aug. 17 suicide truck bombing of a police station in neighboring Ingushetia.

Separatist rebels and Russian troops fought two full-scale wars in Chechnya over the past 15 years, and small clashes persist.
