ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia - Russian police say two officers have been killed in a gunbattle in Chechnya.

Violence also persisted in neighbouring Ingushetia, where a top judge and a former government minister were killed last week.

Police said one district administration office in Ingushetia's main city Nazran was virtually destroyed by an arson fire early Sunday and there were signs that arsonists had planned to torch another district office.

'Tony Halpin in Moscow The new leader of Russia’s top combat forces should be investigated over massacres of civilians during the war in Chechnya, a human rights organisation said yesterday. Lieutenant General Vladimir Shamanov was named commander of Russian Airborne Troops this week, putting him in charge of the army’s elite fighting units.
