"Purge" in Agishbatoy village
A so called "purge" was conducted by Russian servicemen in the village of Agishbatoy, Chechnya's Vedeno district, several days ago. The reported cause of this punitive action was that unknown gunmen had shot down 4 Russian servicemen on the outskirts of the village the day before. There has been no exact information on the results of the special operation in Agishbatoy yet. Several locals were reportedly detained in the course of the "purge".
