Russia's southern republic of Ingushetia is verging on civil war, a human rights group says, accusing officials of state-sponsored terror.

The authorities say they are fighting a war against terrorism.
Attacks against security forces - often carried out by Islamist militants - have intensified in Ingushetia.
