| 2005-10-13 |
| ARMED men had entered a school in Nalchik, capital of the Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, where shots had been heard, a witness told AFP by telephone. The witness said he had seen several children running out of school number five in Nalchik and one of the children, a girl about seven years old, said that gunmen were inside the school and that gunfire had occurred there. Central Nalchik was sealed off and police cars equipped with loudspeakers circulated in the area broadcasting messages to local residents to evacuate the quarter. The school was behind a police headquarters building and smoke hung over parts of the city. Russian news agency Interfax, quoting police sources, said clashes had occurred in several parts of the city. |
