nytimes.com - GROZNY, Russia — Russian President Vladimir Putin says he is confident that local Chechen forces will deal with the terrorist attack in Grozny. At least three police officers and six gunmen were killed earlier on Thursday in an early morning attack on Chechnya's capital, Grozny. The fighting punctured the patina of stability ensured by years of heavy-handed rule by a Kremlin-appointed leader. Speaking in Moscow, Putin described the attackers as "rebels" — a reference to the 1990s separatists who fought federal forces who are receiving support from abroad.
