Three men kidnapped in the Shalinsky districtRuslan Isayev, North Caucasus - Yesterday a group of masked men armed with automatic weapons attacked the village of Chiri-Yurt in the Shalinsky district and kidnapped three men: Mr. Kanuyev, his son and their fellow villager Ramzan Demelkhanov. The PW correspondent received this information via the Interior Ministry of the Chechen Republic.
The three kidnapped men were employees of the local cement factory, and had no apparent ties with either side of the ongoing conflict in Chechnya. Although the incident is being investigated, there is little hope for a successful conclusion.
In the meantime, in the district center Shali, unknown insurgents opened fire at a group of Russian soldiers on Groznenskaya street, wounding two of them. Later, during a routine mine check of that area, a land mine was found on the road. (H/E,T)
