At least 6 killed in clashes in Russia's North CaucasusReuters6:34 a.m. CDT, April 11, 2011
MAKHACHKALA, Russia (Reuters) - At least three policemen and three suspected Islamist militants were killed in clashes in Russia's North Caucasus on Monday, media reported, underlining the Kremlin's struggle to contain violence there. A decade after Russian federal forces drove separatists out of power in Chechnya, almost daily violence plagues the mainly Muslim North Caucasus where rebels want to establish an Islamic state under strict sharia law. "The police returned fire at a group of militants, killing two of them," national anti-terror committee spokesman Nikolai Sintsov said on the state-run Rossiya 24 television channel, adding that those clashes took place in the Dagestan region. He added that at least three policemen were also killed in the village of Kidero near Dagestan's western border with Chechnya. Dagestan is a multi-ethnic republic on the Caspian Sea considered the heart of the insurgency. A ...

MAKHACHKALA, Russia - Police in Russia's southern province of Dagestan say gunmen have killed a local imam. Police spokesman Vyacheslav Gasanov says the two attackers fired gunshots into the window of the imam's home in Yasnaya Polyana village, killing him Saturday. Nikolai Sintsov, a spokesman for Russia's Anti-Terrorist Committee, blamed Islamic militants for the killing, saying the imam had denounced them. Dagestan and other provinces in Russia's North Caucasus have been destabilized by an Islamic insurgency that has spread following two separatist wars in nearby Chechnya. Dagestan has emerged as the militants' main base, and they regularly attack police and other authorities. Many moderate local imams oppose radical Islam, leaving them vulnerable to assassinations. ©

Residents of Dagestan report suspicious medical commission in schoolsOn March 22, at the only secondary school in the village of Novosasetli, Khasavyurt District of Dagestan, doctors of some medical commission conducted examination of children and, after putting disappointing diagnoses, suggested that parents buy corsets for their children for 500 roubles each; and many parents did it. However, as it turned out, neither the Ministry of Public Health of Dagestan nor the Ministry of Education know nothing about this commission. "They just palpated the kids and said that 'your girl has poor posture' and 'your boy has osteoporosis, his bones are bad'. Then, they offered to buy small corset with straps at 500 roubles. Almost 90 percent of parents believed them and bought corsets. My wife also bought it for our son, who is a slim and tall boy," Ahmed Khaibulaev, father of one of schoolboys of Novosasetli, told the "Caucasian Knot" ...
