fo) MOSCOW - May 24 2009: Police have found a large cache of weapons hidden in a forest in Russia's troubled North Caucasus republic of Chechnya, a local police source said on Sunday.
The arms cache was discovered on Saturday near the village of Chishki in the Grozny district, the source told RIA Novosti.
The cache contained a flame thrower, two grenade launchers, three machine guns and three Kalashnikov assault rifles. 
Cars with Russian and Chechnyan flags are parked in line in central Grozny during celebrations of the lifting of security regime. Russia lifted a decade-long security regime in Chechnya, in a move likely to bolster the power of the region's Kremlin-backed leader.
A portion of the arms was destroyed on the spot, as the hideout appeared to be mined, the source said.

The Heart of Chechnya giant mosque is seen in the background. The purpose of the Suvorov schools, which take their 15-year-old pupils for two years, is to prepare teenagers for admission to military colleges. Russia recently ended a federal counter terrorism operation after two bloody wars in the republic. However the separatist rebels still stage frequent attacks in Chechnya despite increased stability in the southern region under Kadyrov.
Militant attacks and clashes remain common in Russia's North Caucasus although the Kremlin campaign to fight separatists and terrorists in Chechnya has officially ended. Violence often spills over into nearby republics, in particular Ingushetia and Daghestan.
