At least nine policemen killed in Ingushetian violence (Roundup)

Moscow - At least nine policemen were shot to death Saturday morning in an ambush on their bus amid continuing unrest in the Russian republic of Ingushetia. Ten further policemen were wounded when assailants with grenades and machine guns attacked the bus carrying policemen, reported the Interfax news agency, citing Ingushetian security officials. 'There would have been more victims, but the police managed to flee the attackers,' said one investigator. The policemen are on transfer from Chechnya to Ingushetia to help anti-terrorism operations there. Those anti-terror manoeuvres, which include 8,500 soldiers and 200 tanks, are in reaction to a recent wave of attacks that gravely wounded Ingushetian President Yunus-bek Yevkurov and left dead a supreme court justice.
