Putin in surprise Chechen visit
Russian President Vladimir Putin has paid a surprise visit to the Chechen capital Grozny to attend the opening of the new parliament elected last month.

"I thank all those who took part in these elections, and in the whole difficult peace process," he said, after flying into Grozny by helicopter.

As prime minister, Mr Putin sent in troops in 1999 to restore Russian rule in the breakaway republic.

Violence continues between Chechen separatists and Russian forces.
