May 8th, 2008
NAZRAN, May 8 (RIA Novosti) - Russian police killed early on Thursday a militant who was reported to have been planning an attack during the upcoming May 9 Victory Day celebrations in the North Caucasus republic of Ingushetia, a local police spokesman said.
The militant was killed in a shootout in the Kantishevo village near the republic's largest city of Nazran.
Ingushetia has seen a sharp increase in attacks by militants on police and members of the armed forces of late.
A Victory Day bomb in neighboring Chechnya killed the republic's pro-Moscow president, Akhmad Kadyrov, in 2004. Around 15 other people died in the attack.
Victory Day marks the final surrender by Nazi Germany to the U.S.S.R. in WWII, often referred to as the Great Patriotic War in Russia and other states in the former Soviet Union.

If I may rebuke your paranoid theory with one of mine, I’m going to say that it is oil, and not zionists ideals that push us towards our stupid policies. Israel is essentially a giant base for us in the Middle East.

For every militant killed the victim almost always turns out to be either a freedom fighter or an innocent bystander.

The Bible says somethin’ like that. Even says that they’ll spawn in arid places and come back twice as pissed, or somethin’ like that.
