 (Interfax) - Three facts of voluntary surrender of weapons and ammunition by Chechen residents have been recorded in the republic in the past 24 hours, Chechen Interior Ministry spokesman Amin Deniyev told Interfax Thursday. A campaign conducted by local authorities and policemen following a call to members of illegal armed groups by Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) Director Nikolai Patrushev has prompted not only the surrender of a number of militants but also that of weapons and ammunition, he said. |
