Gunmen Seize Hostages in S. Russia
By JUDITH INGRAM, Associated Press Writer
MOSCOW (AP) - Gunmen seized at least four hostages on Thursday in a southern Russian town, demanding $30 million or freedom for all ethnic Chechens imprisoned in Russia, officials said.
Maj. Salbi Gerba, head of the local Interior Ministry branch, said that a man who fled the scene in the town of Lazarevskoye described four people as being taken hostage by two men. The town is about 35 miles west of the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
The gunmen did not identify themselves, officials said. But Sergei Yastrzhembsky, a Kremlin spokesman, said the two gunmen were local residents and that they were demanding talks with President Vladimir Putin.
