MOSCOW, May 28 (Reuters) - Russian officials confirmed on Sunday that one of their checkpoints outside the Chechen capital Grozny had been attacked by rebels but said the death toll was far lower than that given by the guerrillas.

Rebel spokesman Movladi Udugov said on Saturday that the attack on the check point had claimed the lives of 16 Russian OMON paramilitary police.

But Russian news agencies quoted the military press service, based in the Khankala base outside Grozny, as saying that only two OMON members were killed and several wounded.

The attack was in the Zavodskoi district on Saturday evening on the edge of Grozny and lasted for around 30 minutes. The military said that many rebels were killed, although Udugov had said none of the separatists died.

Russian forces have seized most of Chechnya in an eight-month-old campaign but have not been able to control the rugged southern mountains and prevent the rebels staging regular ambushes and hit-and-run raids on its troops.

URN,

I'm sorry you don't speak English, but it happens to be the language mainly used at DMS. Perhaps I should stick to simple sentences in future.

As far as Igor is concerned, if he posts something controversial he will have to back himself up, just like the rest of us. He was doing fine until you came along, I'm sure he can speak/ or not speak for himself. He doesn't need your help, that's for sure.

Kim

Saladin Klinton's trip has absolutly nothing to do with anything you said,it is normal protocol for two leaders to have meetings.The Russians could care less what Klinton says about the war and will continue to do as they please.I think the meeting will have more to do with implementation of resolution 1244 and the return of Serb forces to Kosovo.Russia accepts that there will be casualties in Chechnya but will continue till all bandits are ELIMINATED.However they will not stand for independence for Kosovo.Please do not use quoqaz.com for source because it is total fabrication and hallucinations.

Klintoon lame duck is there just to get some Cuban cigars. Putin will not deal with him, he is yesterday news. URN so you are saying it doesn't matter if Putin is communist or not? So why are you so pro-communists. I'm sorry, I guess you are pro-Z, not matter if he is a commie or not? Saladin, smoke less hashish, it will help. For every Russian soldier 7 bandits in Chechnya are killed. And I don't have to remind you that there a less Chechens, especially who are dumb enough to fight. Fred, give it up. Only small % of Russian population uses $$ for purchases. Usually in big cities, obviously the only places you've been to. Kim Arx getting rich because of hard working smart people like Dimi. And so ungreatful. Igor when Putin fixes tax etc and takes care of corruption, invest in Russia. Software company or something, make a video game of Great Russian wars and victories. Starting with Pechenegs and finishing with Chechens. Turka, read what I said to Saladin. Come on, anyone else wants a piece of me?

Igor,

We consider Clinton to be in the same category like Putin. US is in control of Zionist mafia in the same way the Russian mafia under Berozovsky. The west shed some crocodile tears for Kosovo but in fact helped Serbs. But Chechens are no Albanians or Bosnians. They don't want Clinton to shed crocodile tears. They know very well that US is behind current Russian aggresion. They will deal with Russia without US help. US has no friends but strategic partners who they will shed as soon as they realize their goals. They helped Bin Laden and Saddam for several years and now wrongly accuse him for Embassy bombings very much like Russia blames Chechens for Moscow bombings without any proof. In fact Mossad may be involved in both the bombings.
