The explosions caused heavy damage to parts of the building, according to a reporter for the Russian Interfax news agency. Stained-glass windows on several floors were blown out, as were exterior tiles on the building, and some interior walls were demolished, the reporter said.
Local Russian news agencies reported from the Chechen capital, Grozny, that the parliament resumed its work hours after the incident and held a planned session to discuss the republic's budget. Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov was there, as was Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev, who has been in Chechnya on an inspection visit.

Finally I see some coordinated  action between suicide bombers. Not that they achieved much this time , but at least they didnt off themselves near  some random  unrelated kid  like that idiot in Afganistan a couple of weeks ago.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who was on a visit to France, was informed about the incident, the Kremlin reported on its website.

Wow that was awfully generous of Mister Medvedev to spend his time  on such  minuscule event. I wonder what is a  " normal"  death threshhold for Mr Medvedev to be bothered with.
