 TWO DEAD IN ATTACK ON RUSSIAN EMBASSY  
 A rocket attack on the Russian embassy 
 in Beirut has left two people dead and 
 several injured.                       
                                        
 Police say a heavily-armed Palestinian 
 man fired rocket-propelled grenades    
 from nearby premises.                  
                                        
 The lone attacker and a police officer 
 died in a subsequent exchange of fire. 
                                        
 State TV said the attacker was carrying
 a leaflet indicating that hj wanted to 
 become a martyr for the Chechen people 
 currently under Russian army assault.
