Shooting has broken out in the southern Russian city of Nalchik, five days after 130 people were killed in clashes between security forces and rebels.Officials said they were in the middle of a fresh operation against militants, who are believed to have Chechen links.
There were reports of gunshot in three districts of the city, including close to the morgue where the bodies of dozens of those killed are being held.
Residents are being urged to stay in their homes.
Parents are also being advised to collect their children from school.
Russian media reports say police killed a man in the city earlier on Tuesday, when he allegedly resisted a document check. Two other men who were with him reportedly escaped.
The russians seem to have a bigger problem with insurgients than we do in iraq, go figure.
Hard to believe, the russians having trouble with Islamic crazies.
Glad to see it what with all the help thoses bastards have been giving us in our terrorism fight.
Like backing Iran and N.Korea and their Nuke persuit.
Like giving Syria help with their armaments.
To hell with the great bear.
rebels? militants? or brainwashed death cult butchers?
The Russians have no trouble at all crushing the terrorists since world opinion regards any and all brutality by them with a blind eye, unlike the US where we fight hobbled by PC.
