 Fighters from a unit reporting to prominent Chechen guerilla leader Shamil Basayev attacked several houses in the Vedeno district to rob their residents, the headquarters for the antiterrorist operation in the North Caucasus told Interfax on Thursday. "Local residents said the fighters broke into their houses on the outskirts of the village and extorted food and costly items from them," the headquarters said. Another four guerillas attacked a local man who was driving a car on the outskirts of Vedeno. They beat up the driver and then blew up his car. A search is underway to find the attackers, the headquarters said. |
