A publishing house building is seen in flames in the center of Grozny, Russia, early Thursday, Dec. 4, 2014. A gun battle broke out after midnight Thursday in the capital of Russia’s North Caucasus republic of Chechnya, puncturing the patina of stability ensured by years of heavy-handed rule by a Kremlin-appointed leader. Security officials and the leader of Chechnya said gunmen traveling in several cars killed at least three traffic police officers at a checkpoint late at night in the capital of the republic, Grozny. The Moscow-based National Anti-Terrorist Committee said in a statement that after the attack on the traffic police, gunmen occupied a publishing house in the center of Grozny. It said security services, police and emergency services personnel surrounded the building. (AP Photo/Musa Sadulayev)
