Police give details of attack on policemen in south Moscow
MOSCOW, April 28
Police have established the details of an attack on a police patrol
in southern Moscow early on Friday, in which two policemen were
killed, law enforcement sources have told Itar-Tass.
They said occupants of an apartment house in Kirovogradskaya Street
had called the police and reported that calls for help could be heard
from one of the apartments. A police patrol was rushed to the site to
check.
``A family of Armenian nationals lives in the apartment where six
Georgian nationals rushed in early in the morning. Most likely it was
a criminal account-settling,'' the source said.
According to eyewitnesses, when the criminals saw a police car, they
staged an ambush in the apartment. When the policemen entered the
apartment, they opened fire with automatic weapons.
Both policemen, a senior lieutenant and a senior sergeant, died at
the site, the sources said. Six attackers climbed out of the window
and disappeared.
Moscow police have launched an all-Moscow operation trying to seize
the criminals.
