200 terrorists killed in North Caucasus in 2012
2012-07-07
Russian authorities say that roughly 200 terrorists militants in the Caucasus were killed in the first half of 2012.

Sergei Chenchik, head of the Main Directorate of the Interior Ministry in the North Caucasian Federal District, reported that 1,200 operations since January have resulted in 194 terrorists militants, including 25 leaders, killed, compared with 209 in 2011, while 104 police officers were killed in the counterinsurgency operations.

According to Chenchik, 235 Caucasian terrorists militants were arrested and eight surrendered. Of the 160 civilians attacked by terrorists militants, 32 were killed, while in 2011, 102 were attacked.

Last month Andrei Przhezdomskii, an adviser to the head of the National Counter-Terrorism Committee, said the Russian Federation's battle with terrorism in the North Caucasus was succeeding.
