Correspondents of Radio Liberty Andrej Babitskij and Anatolij Streljanyj were just now in direct air. They reported that now they are near Shali. Since morning they are separately with Basaev's group. Some hours earlier they were under fire, since federal forces used "Katjusha" systems against several villages in Southern Chechnya.

Although they didn't say anything about Julia Kalinina, she is supposedly with them and - therefore - more or less in a safe place (if a safe place can exist now in Southern Chechnya).
