From BBC just now: 'Several dead' in Caucasus clash Gunfire has been heard throughout the city A number of police and rebels have been killed in fighting across a city in Russia's volatile North Caucasus area. Civilians are also feared caught up in the clashes that spread to a school, airport and government buildings in Nalchik city, Kabardino-Balkaria. A hospoital source told Moscow radio there were 20 "uniformed" bodies. Kabardino-Balkaria, a Muslim area near war-ravaged Chechnya, has been the scene of several confrontations between authorities and alleged extremists. A police official told Itar-Tass news agency that a number of police and militants had been killed. "We are checking the information about fatalities at police stations and possible victims among civilians," he said. A source at Nalchik's Republican Hospital told Ekho Moskvy radio that the dead who had been brought in were "all people in uniform". At least 40 injured people had been taken to the hospital, with more arriving all the time, the source added. Frantic parents Fighting broke out in the Belaya Rechka area early on Thursday and spread to several parts of the city. A local Interior Ministry source told Itar-Tass that rebels launched a "carefully planned" simultaneous attack on police stations, Russia's security agency, military and drugs-control offices as well as the airport. He said a security operation was under way across the city to track down and kill the militants. "There was heavy fighting everywhere; attacks have been repelled; there have been fatalities and wounded; but part of the attackers has been destroyed and scattered," the official said. The school caught up in the fighting is based near the local anti-terrorism unit, the Associated Press reported. A teacher said all the pupils were evacuated. Parents searched frantically for their children in the school yard as black smoke billowed overhead.
