More trouble for the troubled country.

A Russian police spokesman says at least six people are dead after insurgents stormed the Chechen parliament complex, including the insurgents and two others.

Ramzan Bekkhoyev says there were at least four militants, one of whom blew himself up, killing two security guards at the complex in Grozny, the provincial capital.

Russian news agencies earlier reported the deaths of police, saying insurgents set off an explosive device at the entrance of parliament, while two others ran into the building, sparking a shootout with police.
