Seven killed in Caucasus shootout
 Three Russian security force members and four gunmen were killed in a shootout on Wednesday during a sweep for Islamist terrorists militants who have threatened to attack the Sochi Winter Olympics next month. The Russian National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) said the dead terrorists militants included a man accused of carrying out a car bomb attack in the city of Pyatigorsk late last year which killed three people.
The NAC statement said the group of terrorists militants had been trapped in a house in the village of Karlanyurt in the Dagestan region. Five officers were also injured in what was called a special operation. Police defused two explosive devices at the house where the terrorists militants fought security forces.
