Published Saturday October 23rd, 2010
MAKHACHKALA, Russia - Police says two suspected militants have been killed during a police raid in the southern Russian province of Dagestan.
Dagestan's police spokesman Vyacheslav Gasanov said the two men holed up in a house in the village of Komsomolskoye early Saturday.
Police shot dead one of them when he tried to escape. The other man was killed in a shootout with the police.
Dagestan and other regions in Russia's volatile North Caucasus suffer daily violence linked to Islamic rebels, who have spread across the region after two separatist wars in neighbouring Chechnya and say they want to set up an independent, Shariah state across the southern North Caucasus region.
