Four suspects killed after police slaying in south Russia
|
[AlAhram] Russian law enforcement officers on Thursday killed four suspects accused of gunning down two traffic cops this week in an Islamist-linked attack in the southern city of Astrakhan, officials said.
The interior ministry said in a statement that one suspect was rubbed out after opening fire and injuring three officers who stopped the car in which he was travelling.
Three other suspects were then "liquidated" in a security operation in the southern town, the statement said.
Officials said the suspects were being hunted over the killing on Tuesday of two traffic coppers in what local authorities called a "brazen attack" by "radical Islamists".
The murders came with Russia on high alert following a bombing on the Saint Petersburg metro on Monday that killed 13 people. There is no apparent link between the two attacks.
Astrakhan lies several hundred kilometres northeast of the volatile North Caucasus, where Moscow is fighting a lingering Islamist insurgency.
While attacks against police regularly occur in Russia's Caucasus, they are much rarer in other regions.
IS group claims police killings in southern Russia
[AlAhram] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) turban group on Thursday claimed the killing of two traffic police in southern Russia this week, as security agencies said they had rubbed out four suspects.
The Amaq propaganda agency linked to IS reported the killing of "two Russian coppers" in the southern city of Astrakhan, citing a "security source".
It also claimed an attack that maimed three National Guard officers on Thursday in an incident Russian authorities said saw one assailant suspected of involvement in the death of the traffic coppers rubbed out.
Three more suspects were later "liquidated" during a security operation in the city, the ministry said.
