235 Chechen fighters lay down their weapons
2006-09-13
(KUNA) - A total of 235 Chechen fighters surrendered their arms during the past two months in the North Caucasian region, Interfax news agency said on Tuesday. Interfax quoted Russian parliamentary sources as saying that the fighters responded to the calls of Russian authorities urging them to stop violence. In last August, head of the federal security department Nikolay Patrushev offered the fighters to study objectively the conditions that lead them to join the illegal armed groups if they stop fighting.

It feels like it sometimes. However, few things can beat living in the technological engine of the entire world (i.e., Silicon Valley). I do appreciate the sympathy though, mcsegeek1.

Maybe a left coast Rantfest is order ...
