Armed group leader 'liquidated' in Dagestan

[RFE/RL] Russian authorities say the leader of an armed group has been killed in Dagestan. The National Antiterrorism Committee said on August 14 that the leader of the group, known as the Khunzakh gang, was "liquidated" during a security operation in the western village of Orota on August 13.

The man was identified as Khadzhimurad Gadzhiyev, who had been on Russia’s most-wanted list for years.

Officials have accused Gadzhiyev's group of killing a Muslim cleric in 2014 and of extorting large amounts of money from businesses in Dagestan.
