ANOTHER LOCAL OFFICIAL GUNNED DOWN IN CHECHNYA. Yusa Tsuev,
head of the Alkhan-Kala district administration in Achkhoi-
Martan Raion, was shot dead by an unidentified gunman in his
office on 9 November, ITAR-TASS reported. The gunman also
shot and seriously wounded two Chechen women. A Russian
Interior Ministry official had said on 6 November, after the
failed attempt to assassinate Gudermes Mayoress Malika
Gezimieva (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 7 November 2000), that
protection for local officials would be intensified,
according to Interfax. A Russian military spokesman made a
similar announcement on 9 November, saying that terrorist
attacks are anticipated in the coming week in Grozny, Argun,
and Gudermes. LF
