AlHijjah 23, 1433, Nov 8, 2012, SPA --Police in the province of Dagestan in southern Russia said that three suspected militants and a soldier have been killed in two separate incidents, AP reported. Dagestan Interior Ministry spokesman Vyacheslav Gasanov said that on Thursday police in the town of Khasavyurt stormed an apartment where suspected militants had holed up, killing two men and one woman. In a separate incident in the town of Buinaksk, unidentified assailants ambushed a vehicle, killing a serviceman from a local military base and wounding a civilian contractor.
