Four Chechen policemen kidnapped
Ruslan Isayev, North Caucasus, January 26 – Within the past 24 hours, four policemen were kidnapped in Chechnya.
Two policemen disappeared in the Nizhniye Varandy village in the Groznensky district; a Chechen presidential guard was kidnapped by unidentified assailants in Argun; and another policeman disappeared in the Shelkovsky district.
The Interior Ministry of the Chechen Republic tends to believe that these abductions were done by Chechen guerrillas in retaliation for operations conducted against them.
Furthermore, an attack on a car in Chernorechye, near Grozny, killed two Russian soldiers and wounded a third.
And yesterday another attack took place in Grozny when a car was ambushed in the district of Oktyabrsky, killing two Russian soldiers and injuring three others.
During the past two days, four Russian soldiers were killed and at least ten injured.
