AP CAMERAMAN DEAD IN CHECHNYA

Farkhad Kerimov, a freelance television cameraman covering the war in Chechnya for the Associated Press, has been confirmed dead near Grozny. Shot to death a week ago by unidentified assailants, 27 miles south of the Chechen capital, Kerimov was quickly buried by local residents. His remains were identified today by his brother. Kerimov, a native of Azerbaijan, had covered the Chechen conflict for AP since last December.
