GENE RANDALL, CNN ANCHOR: In Chechnya, Russian forces say they found the bodies of 32 comrades missing in the wake of a rebel ambush. Another soldier was discovered alive. Many of the bodies were said to have been booby-trapped, this as the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, Mary Robinson, is in the region to investigate alleged atrocities in the Chechen War. CNN's Steve Harrigan has a report.</s>STEVE HARRIGAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): After weeks of delay by the Russian government, Mary Robinson finally made it to the war in Chechnya.</s>MARY ROBINSON, U.N. HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONER: It is true that I would have liked to have come sooner, but I'm pleased that I now have an opportunity to come, and I will do my best to have a very full visit.</s>HARRIGAN: Enraged refugees struggled with Russian security, desperate to have a word with the U.N. high commissioner on human rights. More than 200,000 Chechens who fled the fighting have taken refuge here, the neighboring republic of Ingushetia, many, like this woman, with stories of atrocities committed by Russian forces. The visit comes at a time when many in the Russian military are calling not for talk, but for revenge. The bodies of 32 Russian policemen were discovered in Southern Chechnya Saturday, victims of an ambush. A similar ambush killed 22 policemen from the town of Sergeyev Posad earlier this month. The setbacks in the mountainous southern part of Chechnya come just days after the Russian military said all organized resistance by the rebels had been destroyed. Steve Harrigan, CNN, Moscow.
