Two pro-Moscow policemen were killed, and another wounded, in Chechnya when separatist rebels launched a guerrilla attack on a hospital, the Russian interior ministry told Interfax on Saturday. 

Two suspects were arrested after the policemen died late Friday repelling a rebel attack on security guards at the hospital in Chechnya's second city Gudermes, in the east of the breakaway republic. 

Meanwhile, three civilians were killed by an unidentified explosive device at the Asinovskaya railway station, in western Chechnya, the same source said – MOSCOW (AFP)
