| Two militants detained in Dagestan |
| 2002-11-08 |
| Two members of illegal military formations, one of whom is internationally wanted, have been detained in the Dagestani village of Khadzhalmakhi. Yesterday, the republic's interior ministry received information from local citizens about the criminals' location, the regional operative headquarters for controlling the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus reported. See how easy that was? Now nobody will tear their houses down, will they? But we're talking about Dagestan, which isn't Chechnya, where the problem originates... One of the detainees was internationally wanted for committing a number of serious offences on the territory of Chechnya and the republic of Dagestan. The other detainee is an active member of bandit formations. The police confiscated guns, grenades, ammunition, a Kenwood radio station, and a list containing the call letters of a number of Dagestan's police stations from the criminals. Sounds like they were conducting a little "razvedka" preparatory to doing something nasty... |
