In Ingushetia, off-road hotel and sauna shelled

Last night, an off-road hotel and a sauna, situated in the Malgobek District of Ingushetia, were shelled from grenade launchers, as reported by a source in Republic's law enforcement bodies.

"Today, at about 01:15 a.m. Moscow time, unidentified persons opened fire from automatic firearms and tubular grenade launchers on a small hotel and a sauna "Uyut" (Comfort), located near the highway running from Zyazikov-Yurt village to Nizhnie Achaluki," said the source from law enforcement bodies.

According to the source, as a result of shelling, nobody suffered, and insignificant damage was caused to the hotel complex, as reported by the "Gazeta.Ru". The criminals disappeared from the place of the crime in an unknown direction, as the IA "Regnum" reports.

Reports about shelling in Ingushetia of saunas, gambling halls, restaurants and shops selling alcohol and cigarettes are already a habitual component in local criminal chronicles. Islamic leaders say that these attacks are caused by religious feelings of Moslems.
