Security officials are negotiating with the militants who have been surrounded in a private house in Nalchik. They managed to release a woman from the house, mother of one of militants, a source in the law enforcement bodies of Kabardino-Balkaria reported.
"As a result of negotiations, the militants released a mother of one of them. She tried to persuade her son to surrender, but it didn't lead to any results,'' RIA Novosti cites an interlocutor.
