Chechen Rebels Kill Russian Soldier
By YURI BAGROV, Associated Press Writer
NAZRAN, Russia (AP) - Rebels killed a Russian soldier in an ambush on a checkpoint in the Chechen capital Grozny, while bad weather kept federal jets from bombing rebel targets in the south, officials said Tuesday.
The militants' attack, one of several across Chechnya on Monday night, also wounded two soldiers, Interior Ministry officials said.
Russian troops on Tuesday shelled suspected rebel positions in Chechnya's southern mountains, but rain and fog grounded Russian jets, the officials said.
The Russians have been depending on their overwhelming firepower to battle the rebels, while the rebels have favored hit-and-run attacks.
The two sides appear to be at a standoff, apparently unwilling to risk a major confrontation. Russia controls the northern two-thirds of the republic but rebels have faced little resistance penetrating Russian lines and ambushing federal troops and pro-Russian Chechen officials.

Meanwhile Tuesday, Russia's top spokesman on Chechnya, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, said Moscow would not reconsider its choice of the Chechen Islamic leader, Mufti Akhmad Kadyrov, as the republic's top civilian leader, the Interfax news agency reported.
Kadyrov's appointment, announced June 12, was met with resistance from both Kremlin supporters and rebel leaders in Chechnya. Many Chechens consider Kadyrov, who fought on the rebels' side during the 1994-96 Chechen war and now cooperates with the Kremlin, a turncoat. The administrative chiefs of 12 of Chechnya's 18 regions have signed a letter to Putin protesting his appointment.
But Yastrzhembsky told Interfax that there was no reason to reconsider.
``That wouldn't be serious,'' Yastrzhembsky said. ``Kadyrov was just named and hasn't even started working.''
Kadyrov went to the northern Chechen town of Gudermes on Tuesday to begin work, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported. Russian government offices are in Gudermes, and until now Kadyrov had remained in his home village of Tsentoroi.
Russia lost control of Chechnya after independence fighters expelled Russian forces in 1996. The troops re-entered in September after Islamic militants based there seized several villages in the neighboring Russian region of Dagestan, and after about 300 people died in apartment bombings the government blames on Chechens
Betterthanthou where is your proof that any Serbs killed women and kids .The facts are in and have been posted.Show us a recent article that says anything about Albanians that were killed.It is an accepted fact that the whole Kosovo thing was one big lie and the facts back it up so stop your whinning about poor Albanians.They are nothing but drug dealing criminals and need to be smashed.
Igor,
Well let me see if I can cut and paste something just like you! Dumbass! I suppose hitlers holocuast never happened also. Do you really think in this day and age that the U.S. and other allies would really risk their necks if nothing was happening! Pull the blind fold off your eye's idiot. You are so jealous the western lifestyles that do anything to denounce them. Oh poor me. Men never landed on the moon either it was all filmed on the back lots of Universal Studios, shiit for brains. So when you look at pictures of slaughterd families who did it? Maybe the photographer looking for a good story? Maybe a US soldier ordered by his commanding officer in turn orderd by Clinton just to boost his popularity. Give me a break.
Wher are the links arsshole
As far as landing on moon why is flag blowing in the wind when there is no wind moron
Igor,
Here ya go jackass.I would have cut and pasted the whole thing but I thought I'd make you work a little. I didn't want to iritate everyone else on here with them having to scroll through 16 paragraphs of cut and paste like you do. Here's your article, one of hundreds of eye witness accounts.

Look closer jackass and you will see the cables holding the flag out. It's wrinkled,who said it was blowing in the wind. That's your perception. Of course then again you only see things your way, without research, without education, without eye witness accounts, without an open mind to all options, without a clue...
I do not see one iota of evidence that suggests that 1 the Serbs are responsible and 2 that they are Albanian victims.For all we know they could be Serbs who were kidnapped.Like I said show me the proof.
I saw it on television and the flag is clearly blowing maybe you are looking at a photograph clown
