Three police officers, one terrorist killed in Caucasus
Three police officers and a suspected terrorist rebel fighter have been killed in Russia's volatile Caucasus republics of Dagestan and Chechnya, Russian news agencies have reported.
Local police chief Lieutenant-Colonel Salovdi Viskhanov and investigative chief Major Magomed Musiyev "were going home from work when their car came under fire," police sources told Interfax. Both officers died of their wounds, sources added.
In neighbouring Chechnya, a policeman who tried to defuse an explosive device found on the street, died when it exploded, sources told ITAR-TASS.
In Dagestan's Derbent region, a suspected terrorist guerrilla was killed in a clash with police after they stopped him to ask for his documents, Interfax reported.
