3 hard boyz call it quits
Over the last 24 hours, three members of illegal armed groups in Chechnya have laid down their arms. "Two active members of underground gangs turned themselves in to law enforcement agencies in the Vedeno district," federal forces spokesman Major General Ilya Shabalkin told Interfax on Thursday. The rebels said the gang's leader made them attack local police patrols and take part in bandit attacks against citizens of the Vedeno district while wearing military camouflage uniform and masks, Shabalkin said. Another member of an illegal armed group turned himself in to the authorities in the Achkhoi-Martan region of Chechnya, Shabalkin said. The rebel gave up his Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition, as well, he said.
