Yevkurov, the president of the province of Ingushetia west of Chechnya, said at
a rally Saturday that more than 3,000 civilians have been wounded in attacks by
militants in the region over the same period. Yevkurov's statement was posted
on his administration's official Web site Sunday. Yevkurov himself was badly
wounded by a suicide bombing of his convoy in June 2009.
Ingushetia and other provinces in Russia's restive North
Caucasus region have been plagued by violence stemming from two separatist wars
in neighboring Chechnya. Rights groups say that police abuses against civilians
have fueled violence.
