Russia: 3 killed in Caucasus violence
None
Violence in three separate provinces of Russia's restive North Caucasus on Thursday left three people dead, law enforcement authorities said – one senior police officer, one suspected militant and one bystander.
The chief of a riot police unit in Dagestan, on the Caspian Sea east of war-scarred Chechnya, was shot by two gunmen as he headed to work in the provincial capital Makhachkala, provincial Interior Ministry spokesman Mark Tolchinsky said. (AP)
