ROSTOV-ON-DON, February 17 (RIA Novosti) - Two unidentified gunmen have shot dead the brother of a police officer in Russia's North Caucasus Republic of Ingushetia, a police spokesman said on Tuesday. Ingushetia has seen a dramatic rise in violence in the last year. The tiny republic's Interior Ministry said there were more than twice as many militants and militant sympathizers in Ingushetia as in neighboring Chechnya. "At approximately 1:00 a.m. Moscow time [22:00 Monday GMT] two unknown men entered the yard of a private house in the village of Ekazhevo and gunned down a man," the source said. "He died of his injuries immediately." A search for the attackers is underway. The Russia-based human rights group, the Moscow Helsinki Group, said in September 2008 that Ingushetia was on the verge of civil war as fighting between militants and authorities intensified. It also accused federal authorities of torture and abductions. More news
