| Federal troops in Chechnya clashed with militants in the southeast of the Russian republic Wednesday night, Chechen law enforcement bodies said Thursday. Five militants entered the village of Dyshne-Vedeno on the border with Daghestan. The federal troops opened fire and pursued the militants. There are no reports about losses. Unidentified assailants set fire to three houses of local policemen in Dyshne-Vedeno Wednesday night, which left one woman dead. |

| #2 Don't you just hate it when unidentified assailants set fire to three houses of local policemen? I bet they were shouting Allahu Akbar while they were doing the most favorite of the Arab barbarian dances. |

| #1 Ol nasty peg leg's own home district I believe. They have not been able to mount the actual combat operations they once could and it seems they no longer have their jihadi combat camera men on staff and working to get the propaganda footage. No spring/summer offensives to speak of and no replacement "moderate" Maskhadov finger puppet to pursue negotiations. Things are looking grim and pathetic for the the pride of Chechen Jihadi thuggery (future is brighter for their pro-russian counterparts despite the low level weekly bloodletting). |
