| 2003-08-31 |
| Fifteen Russian soldiers and policemen were killed in attacks by Chechen rebels on Friday, an official in the Kremlin-backed Chechen civilian administration said on Saturday. Five of the deaths came when Russian military positions came under rebel fire, 10 others were killed in ambushes and clashes and one was killed when a soldier detonated a booby-trap. Russian artillery in return shelled suspected rebel positions in four sectors of Chechnya, said the official. |

| #4 One was both a police officer and a soldier. Hence, 5+10+1=15 |

| #1 Now we know why the Russian economy collapsed: * Five of the deaths came when Russian military positions came under rebel fire * 10 others were killed in ambushes and clashes * one was killed when a soldier detonated a booby-trap But, Fifteen Russian soldiers and policemen were killed What nationality was the other guy? Maybe this was how they counted their losses in Afghanistan, too. |
