NALCHIK, Russia Oct 13, 2005 — Scores of Islamic militants launched simultaneous attacks on police and government buildings in this city in Russia's turbulent Caucasus region Thursday, sparking battles that killed at least 63 people.

Chechen rebels claimed responsibility for the attacks, which forced the evacuation of schools and left corpses littering the streets of Nalchik, the capital of the republic of Kabardino-Balkariya.

President Vladimir Putin ordered a total blockade of Nalchik, a city of 235,000, to prevent militants from slipping out, and he said armed resisters would be shot, according to Russian Deputy Interior Minister Alexander Chekalin.

Just more peaceful Islamists honoring their fast during the month long Ramadan. Nothing to see here. /sarcasm

I do so long for the days when reporters used correct terms such as "Islamist/Muslim Mass Murders" rather than the euphemistic term militants, insurgents, etc.

So what, the Russians deserve all of this and more. They are assisting Iran with it's plans to build a nuclear bomb. If Iran gets the bomb I hope they sell the first one to terrorists who will then use it on Russia.

I don't understand Putin. Why would he have anything to do with Iran nuke interests is beyond me. He must know that he is selling these animals the rope they are going to use on him.

He should cut all ties with Iran and sweep the Caucasus region of all Islamofascists. Unleash hell on this vermin.

Why not but Nukes for Iran?

Whatcha think, great idea or what?
