Russian-backed Chechen President Alu Alkhanov has ordered that state flags be flown at half-mast and that entertainment programs be canceled.
Authorities say security forces are continuing to hunt for suspects in the attack, which was one of the most deadly to target law-enforcement officers in recent months in Chechnya. Ten policemen and two children were among those killed.
Officials say the attackers set a trap by first firing at a corpse left in a stolen police jeep to make Interior Ministry troops believe a shooting was taking place. Officials say that when the troops arrived, a bomb went off.
