GROZNY, July 27 (Itar-Tass) - Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov said he had a ticket to the performance "Town Built on Ice" at the Grozny concern hall, and was to have attended it.

Kadyrov said so at a meeting with deputy interior ministers for Chechnya Roman Edilov and Ali Tagirov in Grozny on Monday.

"I was to have seen the performance, I had a ticket on hand, but I was a trifle late, because I was delayed at a construction site," Kadyrov said.

The hall accommodated hundreds of women and children and this criminal intended to break through and set off the bomb there, he added.

"The Akhmad Kadyrov foundation is already allocating 10,000 U.S. dollars to the family of each killed police officer," the Chechen president said.

He also ordered to prepare documents to name Ismail Bisultanov's school (one of the killed police officers) after him, and rename the streets in which the dead police officers lived in their honor.

Law-enforcement bodies must know who comes to the city and with which intentions. "The people who prepare and carry out such crimes cannot be called people, they're dogs, they must be destroyed and do not deserve any mercy," Kadyrov underlined.

Parents should know what their children are up to, and prevent them from taking weapons and becoming bandits, he added.

"Doku Umarov has announced all people his enemies. If they are against people's working, relaxing and studying, I don't know what else they want from the people. Their families are in Turkey and other places, while our relatives die here," Kadyrov said.

He underlined that police should not risk their lives during special operations. "A gangster who fires on police should be destroyed," the Chechen leader noted.

Earlier on Monday, Chechen Interior Minister Ruslan Alkhanov promised that his department would make everything necessary to find the masterminds behind the Grozny concern hall explosion.

"Police, at the cost of their lives, prevented the terrorist from entering the concern hall where hundreds of civilians had gathered together with their children to see a performance. Having displayed courage and loyalty to their duty, four police officers were killed, together with two civilians; and several other police officers were wounded. The explosion also killed two workers who had arrived in Chechnya with the aim of rebuilding it," Alkhanov noted.

On Sunday, police at the entrance to the concert hall stopped a man trying to walk into the hall during the performance, titled "Town Built on Ice."

The terrorist then set off the bomb, whose yield approximated 1.5 to 2 kilograms of TNT.

Thanks to the vigilance and personal courage of the police officers, the terrorist attack failed to reach its goal, the Chechen Interior Ministry said.

The fatalities among police are deputy head of the department for coordinating police activities in Grozny Colonel Ismail Bisultanov, deputy chief of public security police department in the Lenin District Lieutenant Colonel Rizvan Gaidabayev, senior inspector for Grozny Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Kuznetsov and Major Mair-Ali Tsugayev of the Lenin precinct.

A Turk and a Georgian employed by a Grozny construction firm were also killed. Another five persons - four police officers and one Georgian citizen were wounded.

Speaker of the State Duma lower house of the Russian parliament Boris Gryzlov said the government would respond to the Grozny terrorist attack by "the toughest suppression of the terrorist threat."

"We see that the inhuman methods of terror remain unchanged; bandits are seeking to murder as many innocent people as possible," Gryzlov said.

He is confident there can be only one response on the part of the state to terrorism: "the toughest suppression of the terrorist threat."

The explosion occurred just a day after negotiations between Chechen parliament speaker Dukvakha Abdurakhmanov and Akhmed Zakayev - who calls himself Prime Minister of Ichkeria in exile. On Friday, they briefed reporters in Oslo on the results of the talks.

Zakayev said he had recognized Ramzan Kadyrov as Chechen president. Later, he stated that the Ichkeria leadership had made the decision to cease hostilities by the resistance forces against Chechen police in the territory of the republic. The dialogue will reportedly continue in London within the next ten days.
