| Parliament attackers "liquidated" by security forces, says Chechen government |
| 2010-10-19 |
| Police in Russia's Chechnya have killed all the terrorists who attacked the republic's parliament on Tuesday morning, an Interior Ministry official said. The deputy head of the republic's Interior Ministry, Roman Edilov, said four militants and two police officers had died during the operation. He also dismissed reports that the militants had taken hostages. The attack began when a vehicle carrying terrorists drove in with cars carrying lawmakers, a police source told RIA Novosti earlier. Hm? What, they just follow them in the gate or something? Like I have to do at my Dad's community sometimes? He added that a suicide bomber had blown himself up while the other militants headed toward parliament. Didn't appear to do much? Parliament was evacuated and a special operation, headed by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, was launched to flush out the militants. Oh, taking the military credit for himself, is he? He was a rebel, I suppose he knows how to do such things and was nearby. |

| #5 "Liquidated" or "destroyed" are both translations of the Russian word. Same meaning. |

| #2 the Russian media usually uses "destroyed", but "liquidated" works just fine |

| #1 "Liquidated" just kind of rolls off a tongue, especially in combination with "Chechen". |
