A senior policeman has been killed and six others sustained injuries in a clash with a militant in Russia’s republic of Chechnya.
"Militant Khamzat Shemilev, who is on the federal wanted list, was tracked down in the Staropromyslovsky district of Grozny,” a spokesman for the headquarters of the Combined Military Force in the North Caucasus, told Interfax. “He offered armed resistance to police, killing one police officer and wounding six others. The injured policemen were hospitalized."
Following a gunfight Shemilev escaped the building and then detonated an explosive device, blowing himself up in the process.
According to Chechen Interior Minister Ruslan Alkhanov, Shemilev was the leader of a gang responsible for a number of attacks on policemen, killings and bombings. The minister pointed that it took a long time to
track him down.

Russian heat wave due to dramatic changes in solar activity – forecasterThis year Russia was hit by a record-breaking heat wave that led to wildfires which killed dozens and left thousands homeless. Weather forecaster Piers Corbyn says this is a result of weather cycles, not global warming. |
Sometimes it takes elite special forces to deal a blow to terrorists and other evil doers, Russia has a bad situation in Chechnya and that surrounding region. The Muslim extremists are giving Russia their worst nightmare. Perhaps if Russia were to elect a Muslim President or Prime Minister the Muslims would back off a little. The Muslims support Obama in America and haven't done much terrorist activity since he was elected.
