Slain Red Cross workers mourned in Chechnya
In Grozny a day of mourning gathered scores of Chechens in black outside a Red Cross compound as six workers were shot dead in their homes. Chechen authorities vowed to punish those responsible and offered a $100,000 reward for information. The International Committee of the Red Cross has suspended operations in Chechnya with four staffers remaining at the main base.
