MOSCOW, Jan 26: A guerilla attack on a Russian military convoy in Chechnya killed four servicemen and injured a further four on Monday as a UN envoy began new talks on conditions in and around the region.
Local officials said the convoy was halted by a roadside explosion outside a village in the Sharoi district, in western Chechnya. The soldiers died in a subsequent shootout. The attack was typical of the daily harassment to which Russia's estimated 60,000 servicemen are subjected.-Reuters
