Reports of fighting in Karabulak, Inigushetia between local residents and FSB thugs UPDATE: It’s ISIS, and now they’re dead
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Update from the Times of Israel at 1:20 p.m. ET:
Six alleged members of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group were killed in a shootout in Russia’s volatile North Caucasus region, in what the country’s National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) describes as a "counterterrorism operation."

According to a statement by the NAC, the six men barricaded themselves in a third-floor apartment in Karabulak, a town of about 30,000 in Russia’s semi-autonomous Republic of Ingushetia. A shootout with security services followed, as surrounding streets were blocked off and residents of the apartment block evacuated to a nearby school, according to Russia’s Interfax agency.

Heavy gunfire and blasts appearing to come from inside an apartment block could be heard in videos posted by Karabulak residents on social media.

The NAC claims that security services found automatic weapons, ammunition, hand grenades, and homemade explosives inside the apartment where the men were hiding out.
No doubt more information will come out of badanov’s translated reports from Russia this evening.

#3 Or the Jewish revolts against the Romans.

Those particular actions didn't end well, however.
