Russian officers killed in Dagestan
A Russian police patrol has been ambushed in the southern republic of Dagestan.
Five of the officers were killed.
The Russia news agency , ITAR-TASS, said they were ambushed at a police roadblock near the border with Chechnya.
Dagestan, like other parts of the North Caucasus, has been plagued by violence exacerbated by religious and ethnic tensions.
