(NSI News Source Info) KAZAN, Tatarstan (Russia) - August 22, 2009: Every police officer in Ingushetia will be reevaluated in the near 
future, Russia's interior minister said on Saturday.
The southern Russian republic was rocked on Monday when at least 24 people were killed and 136 injured in a truck bombing that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said could have been prevented.
"It is necessary to take a number of concrete steps to improve the situation in the region and to increase the level of security," Rashid Nurgaliyev said in Kazan during a video conference with the operations center on security in Russia's North Caucasus.
"First and foremost, every employee of Ingushetia's Interior Ministry should be reevaluated in the immediate future," he said.
Medevedev fired the republic's interior minister after the attack and ordered Nurgaliyev to find a way to improve security in the region, where violence has increased in recent months.
Nurgaliyev told personnel managers at the Interior Ministry that their "approach to carrying out the reevaluation of staff must be the strictest."
He also ordered an immediate review of security at all facilities of federal and regional interior ministries in the North Caucasus.
"I am giving instructions for the inspection within the next two days of all Interior Ministry facilities on the territory of the North Caucasus regarding anti-terrorist security," the minister said.
Since the Kremlin officially ended the decade-long anti-terrorist operation in Chechnya in April, several senior officials have been killed by militants in neighboring Ingushetia and Dagestan, while attacks on law-enforcement officers are an almost daily occurrence.
Ingushetia's president, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, returned to the republic on Saturday after spending two months in Moscow recovering from serious injuries sustained in a car bomb attack on his motorcade.
