7 hunters killed in Russia's south
#173456 - 20/12/10 12:41 PM

With instability afflicting more regions across the globe, expect more stories like this.

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia – Russian police say seven hunters and forest rangers have been shot dead in a wooded area in the volatile Caucasus region.

A police official who declined to be named because the investigation is still at an early stage said Saturday's shooting occurred in the province of Kabardino-Balkaria. Police said all victims had two to four gunshot wounds to the head.

In November 2007, the bodies of nine hunters and forest rangers were found in the same stretch of woodland. Police at the time said they had inadvertently strayed into the territory of militant Islamists who take shelter in the forests of the Caucasus and were killed by them.

Like other Caucasus regions near Chechnya, Kabardino-Balkaria has been plagued with insurgent violence in recent years.

I find this story not believable. After all, isn't Islam the religion of peace?

Let me get this straight - 7 "hunters", presumably dressed up in camo carrying rifles wander through the forest and "bump into" a group of "militants" fighting for independence from Russia. Not far from Chechnya? Hmmmm

I wonder? They either were, or were mistaken for Russian military. Sounds like an excuse to send in the tanks on Putin's part...

^ Zackery! Pure bloody media spin from those who know nothing of the region and Chechnya in particular. (and those wallies who took the bait) Enough said.

But didn't that lot kill a lot of kids at a school a few years ago? I think they reckon any Russian infidel is fair game.

Politics - nothing but politics - what burns my ass, is they expect people to belive that drivel. Polititions in general are so narsisistic, they think people actually believe them.

Are we certain this wasn't a Putin mafia hit?

Reference the original incident

Two hunters have managed to escape from assailants who shot dead seven of their counterparts in the southern Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, a spokesman for the united information center of the republic's law enforcement agencies said on Saturday.
