RUSSIANS CONTINUE BLASTING DEFIANT CHECHENS

Having declared victory in Chechnya yesterday, Russian troops continued to bomb Grozny to expel Chechen fighters from their capital. Jets blasted a market and an apartment building near the city center. But the Chechens remained defiant: "We will fight to the end, and when we die, we'll send our 10-and-12-year-olds with Kalashnikovs," said Chechen Defense Minister Aslan Maskhaev.
