Large arms cache found in Ingushetia

KHANKALA. Jan 21 (Interfax-AVN) - The Russian Interior Ministry's mobile detachment in Ingushetia found an arms and ammo cache near the administrative border with Chechnya, the ministry's provisional press center in the North Caucasus reported on Friday.

"The cache was found about three kilometers from the village of Aki-Yurt in Ingushetia's Malgobek district. It contained a KPVT machine-gun, three boxes with six packs of cartridges, 16 grenade launcher rounds, a grenade, and six powder charges," a press center official told Interfax-Military News Agency.

The cache was mined, he said.

Meanwhile, policemen investigating the case of a 17-year-old resident of Chechnya's Shali village have proven his involvement in the planting of the landmine that destroyed the ZIL-131 truck with officers of the Shali district police department on May 9, 2004. The man is already detained.

"Policemen are taking measures to detain the other members of the bandit gang involved in the planting of the landmine," the official said.
