Forces Crack Down in Violence-Racked City
Security forces sealed off parts of the southern Russian city of Nalchik after shooting erupted during their search for suspected militants in the wake of violence last week that left at least 139 people dead, including more than 90 attackers.

Russian news agencies reported that police had killed a man during a document check. Interfax quoted the Interior Ministry as saying he had taken part in the attacks.
