| Federal forces killed three insurgents from a group that had been headed by Movsar Barayev, who led the hostage-takers in Moscow. Colonel Ilya Shabalkin said federal forces clashed with the rebel band in forests between Argun and Grozny. In televised comments, he said they recovered maps with plans for attacks on targets including federal checkpoints and a railroad in Chechnya. The targets included federal checkpoints and the railroad linking Mozdok in North Ossetia and Gudermes, Shabalkin said. Meanwhile, a Chechen administration official said investigators had found flight data recorders from a Mi-8 helicopter that was shot down Tuesday near Chechnya's main military base, killing all four people aboard. He said Grozny had been sealed off while forces searched for the suspects. This is not a good time to be a crazed Chechen killer... Link is courtesy of Steve... |
