I ran into this article today: Íîâîñòè NEWSru.com :: Â Ãðîçíîì îáñòðåëÿíà ìàøèíà ñ ìèëèöèîíåðàìè - îäèí óáèò, äâîå ðàíåíû

It's in Russian so here's my translation: ''In Grozny, recently unknown people have open fire at a Russian police car. As a result of the attack one police officer has died, and two others were injured. The incident occured in the October region of the Chechen capital. Fire was opened from a ruined building.

The last such incident took place on the night of October 16th. The in the Lenin district of the Chechen capital a police patrol was fired on by auto-matic weapons. One of the four police officers was injured. The attackers fled.

The fact that the situation in the country is unstable is characterized by the fact that several groups of insurgents were found in the republic. Like this, on October 9th in a forest on the outskirts of Zhani-Vedeno, of the Vedenskiy region, there was a fire fight between MVD forces and an insurgent group numbering around 20.

As a result of the firefight one MVD trooper died, and another one was injured. Response fire killed two of the insurgents. The rest fled.

The Chechen government has long since said that the situation with insurgent groups is under their control, but this is not the case. In September, president of the Republic, Ramzam Kadyrov, offered his help to neighboring Ingushetiya, where attacks against civilians and police officers have become more common.''

What do you guys think? Will be back tomorrow with more articles.
