Acting Chechen president Akhmat Kadyrov called on Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov, FSB director Nikolai Patrushev and Prosecutor's General Vladimir Ustinov to create an inter-departmental commission for finding missing people in the republic. Officials of the Chechen president's press service told Itar-Tass on Thursday by telephone that Kadyrov calls for granting "broad powers" to the commission. "We must ensure security of the people and maintain law and order in Chechnya," he stressed. Earlier, Chechen Interior Minister Alu Alkhanov told Itar-Tass that 380 people missed this year in the republic. In his words, in the first half of the year law-enforcement agencies found only 84 people. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ADVERTISEMENT Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to the Yahoo! Terms of Service.
