SPECIAL REPORT: Islamic Terror in the Caucasus: Attack on Nalchik

From an e-mail from LauraMansfield.com: "We have put together a special report consisting of translations from international media regarding yesterday's attack on Nalchik by Chechen Islamist Terrorists.

There are some very interesting reports - including one that discusses the formation of a branch of HAMAS in the Caucasus and a call from a prominent Muslim leader demanding the banning of Wahhabism in Russia.

We believe this is rapidly becoming the most comprehensive repository of news coverage on this subject.

We are continuously updating the report so please access it at http://www.lauramansfield.com/j/nalchik.asp"

I'm concerned about this.
