| [Arab News] An Interior Ministry official in Russia's southern province of Dagestan says three coppers have been killed in a clash with turbans. Vyacheslav Gasanov said the violence occurred Monday in the Tsunti region of Dagestan when police tried to detain three gunnies. The Orcs and similar vermin fired at police, killing two officers on the spot and wounding two, one of whom later died at a hospital. Dagestan and other provinces in Russia's North Caucasus have been destabilized by an Islamic insurgency that has spread following two separatist wars in nearby Chechnya. Dagestan has emerged as the turbans' main base, and they regularly attack police and other authorities. |
