By Valery Khatazhukov in Nalchik As the dust settles from the attack on Nalchik by a so far unidentified group of militants, there is widespread public anger at the insurgents. But some are voicing concern that excessively heavy-handed government in Kabardino-Balkaria may have contributed to the desperation that spurred the rebels. The final death toll still differs according to the various official sources. Kabardino-Balkaria´s interior minister, Khachim Shogenov, has said that 91 militants were killed, a figure close to the 92 now being cited by Russian television. Russian deputy interior minister Andrei Novikov had earlier given a figure of 72 militants killed and 31 arrested. Most officials are still saying the total number of attackers involved was around 100. Official ... >> full...
