[KavkazUzel] A Moscow court left in custody for six months a resident of Dagestan, Magomed Nurov, accused of involvement in organizing terrorist attacks in 2010. As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the investigators believe that Gusen Magomedov was the organizer of the terrorist attacks in the Moscow metro on March 29, 2019, who according to the National Anti-Terrorist Committee, was killed in 2013. According to the investigation, resident of Dagestan Magomed Nurov helped Magomedov escape after the terrorist attack. In September, the Prosecutor General's Office charged Nurov with involvement in a criminal community and a stable armed group, committing terrorist acts and illegal manufacture of explosive devices. The case has been referred to court. According to the investigators, acting as a liaison for the gang, he drove its members to meetings where terrorist attacks were planned in the Moscow metro, and also hid a participant in terrorist acts from law enforcement agencies. Nurov fully admitted his guilt. On March 29, 2010, two explosions took place at the Lubyanka and Park Kultury metro stations. A total of 40 people were killed and over 100 were injured. The leader of the North Caucasian militants, Doku Umarov, claimed responsibility for these terrorist acts, claiming that he was taking revenge on the military for actions in Chechnya, according to the "Caucasian Knot," "... [for] terrorist acts committed by suicide bombers on the territory of the Russian Federation." The arrest of Magomed Nurov, accused of involvement in terrorist attacks at the Lubyanka and Park Kultury stations of the Moscow metro in 2010, has been extended for six months. "The court ruled the petition of the investigation to satisfy and extend the term of Nurov's detention until March 27, 2022," Kommersant quoted the judge as saying. Nurov and his lawyers objected to the extension of his arrest. The defense noted that the accused is not going to hide from the court, and before the arrest he had a permanent job: he worked as a watchman at a children's sports school in the Moscow region, TASS reported today. The Second Western District Military Court will begin hearing the case on October 25, the agency said. The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on November 22, 2020, the head of the police department of the Kizlyar district of Dagestan, Gazi Isaev, was detained. He was charged under articles on participation in a criminal community with the use of official position, on banditry and a terrorist act. According to the investigation, Isaev joined the terrorist organization Imarat Kavkaz, banned in Russia by the court, and using his official position, provided the militants with information about the security forces. In 2010, he helped the suicide bomber get to Moscow and set up an explosion in the metro there. A Moscow court arrested Isaev, then on October 14 the court extended Isaev's arrest for three months. A rally demanding the release of Isaev was held in November 2020 by employees of the Kizlyar ROVD, Internet users and retired officers who questioned the court's sincerity. In April, several deputies of the Kizlyar District Assembly asked the Russian president to take control of the Isayev case, calling him an honest and decent officer. Chairman of the District Assembly Nurudin Kakhirovcalled the appeal a private initiative of the  deputies.  |
