#1 When I filed this report, at least one confrontation was still ongoing.

Somehow, I doubt the choice of words was Fatima's. There may be a translator and editor involved. Perhaps a former AP employee.

#2 I was able to see some of them. They were all clean-shaven â no Islamic-style beards â apart from one whose body I saw.

Some were dressed in military camouflage gear, and these ones also had masks over their faces.

But most were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes.

I later saw how Nalchik residents people recognised quite a lot of the militants lying dead. They were locals.

If this is true (and the source is not particularly trustworthy), then it's quite worrisome.
