Battle for alcohol in Muslim Russia is deadly business


NAZRAN, Russia (Reuters) - A masked guard clad in camouflage pokes his AK-47 rifle into the shoulder of a vodka-guzzling client in a hotel bar in Russia's Muslim Ingushetia region, and orders him to leave immediately.

The state-employed security guard then leads the man and his coterie of quiet revellers out of the dimly lit bar.
