Ex KGB officer in war zone like shoot out in Warsaw

One policeman was killed and 15 were wounded yesterday as an anti-terrorist unit came under grenade and machine-gun attack when it stormed the hideout of two men in a Warsaw suburb. After police, acting on a tip-off, surrounded the house in the early hours, the suspects threw grenades and home-made nail bombs at the police and an exchange of gunfire ensued, which lasted for around three hours. A few hours after the incident was over the police were able to confirm the death of Igor P., a former Belarussian KGB agent and Robert C. both sought in connection with the earlier killing of a policeman in Parole last year.
