Gunmen raid parliament in Chechnya, 6 dead

None

Islamic militants tried to blow up Chechnya's parliament on Tuesday, leaving six people dead and 17 injured in a brazen attack that defied the Kremlin-backed government's claims it had stabilized the volatile region.

 

In a clear challenge to the Kremlin, the raid in Chechnya's provincial capital occurred just as Russia's interior minister was visiting the city. (AP)
