    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.
