| All seven militants who left the city of Nalchik this morning in a minibus have been killed and their hostages rescued, a spokesperson for the republic of Kabardino-Balkariya's Interior Ministry said Friday. A duty officer had said earlier that the militants, who attacked the North Caucasus city on Thursday morning, had left the Interior Ministry building in a minibus, but he refused to give nay details. However, an Interior Ministry spokesperson later said that all seven militants who had taken hostages in a ministry building had been killed and the hostages were unharmed. "The terrorists tried to break out of the Interior Ministry building in a Gazel [minibus], but their driver lost control and the vehicle hit a post," the spokesperson said. "All the militants were killed in an operation." An operation is currently under way to identify the militants' accomplices. |
