Russia mourns Chechen raid deaths
Citizens of the Russian region of
Kabardino-Balkaria have held a day of
mourning in memory of the 36 killed in
an attack by Chechen-backed militants.
Flags on government buildings were
flown at half-mast, as police checked
vehicles and the area returned to calm.
Twelve civilians and 24 members of the
security forces died in the violence in
Nalchik, with 91 attackers reported to
have been killed and some 36 captured.
The rebels are thought to be a mix of
local Islamic militants and extremists.
