Recall that earlier Khamukova’s defenders sought to mitigate the measure of restraint for her, noting that Khamukova is raising young children , for whom proper care is impossible under house arrest. Lawyers Magomed Abubakarov and Ramzan Uzuev urged them to write letters to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee with a request to stop the criminal prosecution of the Khamukovs. The prosecution, not finding evidence of the guilt of the Khamukovs, can "materialize a secret witness out of nowhere," Ramzan Uzuyev explained to the "Caucasian Knot" at the time.

According to the relative, on the morning of June 8, 2018, security forces searched the man’s house, beat him and took him away in an unknown direction. The relative is sure that a grenade and a homemade bomb were planted on Aliyev. Five days later, the security forces told Aliyev's family that he had been killed while trying to attack the investigator and escape. Ibrahim's brother Bashir Aliyev was also detained.
On July 7, 2018, the security forces handed over the body of a resident of Ingushetia, Ibragim Aliyev, who was killed after being detained, to his relatives after they refused the help of human rights activists in verifying the official version of his death.

An Iraqi court sentences to death an #ISIS group member convicted of plotting a 2021 bomb attack that killed 32 people in a crowded #Baghdad market.https://t.co/1nA5dsUOwy

An Iraqi court on Monday sentenced to death an ISIS group member convicted of plotting a 2021 bomb attack that killed 32 people in a crowded Baghdad market.
It was the city’s first major suicide bombing in three years that ended a period of relative calm after Iraq declared the defeat of the extremist group in late 2017.
The man, who was not named, was found guilty of planning the January 2021 twin suicide bombing that hit the market at Baghdad’s Tayaran Square and also wounded 110 people.
A Baghdad court has sentenced the attack’s “primary perpetrator,” the Supreme Judicial Council said in a statement.
He had confessed to being part of ISIS since 2012 and to having equipped the two suicide attackers.
In the attack, one man drew a crowd by claiming to feel sick before he detonated his explosives belt, the interior ministry said at the time.
As more people flocked to the scene to help the victims, the second suicide bomber set off his explosives.
Iraq frequently hands down death sentences, usually for terrorism or murder convictions.
Amnesty International’s 2021 death penalty report ranks Iraq near the top worldwide in terms of death sentences and executions.
The London-based rights group recorded at least 17 executions in Iraq in 2021, down from 50 the previous year, but said death sentences “rose more than threefold from 2020.”
In April, eight people were sentenced to death in two trials, four over a car bombing and four for murder.
The last major ISIS attack in the capital came in July 2021, when a bomb ripped through the crowded al-Woheilat Market in the Sadr City suburb, killing more than 30 people.
The ISIS group has “maintained the ability to launch attacks at a steady rate in Iraq, including hit-and-run operations, ambushes and roadside bombs,” a UN report said in January.
Three teenagers and three policemen were shot dead in northern Iraq as they put out a crop fire last week, an attack that officials blamed on ISIS extremists.
Two Turkish soldiers had been killed in military operations against Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in northern Iraq, Turkey's Defence Ministry said.
Within a week, Ankara had lost eight soldiers killed in the region.
On Saturday, an improvised explosive device (IED) killed one soldier.
Another soldier was wounded on Friday during the fighting and died in hospital.
Last April, Ankara launched an action called "Operation Claw Lock" to "prevent terror attacks" and ensure border security following an assessment that the PKK was planning a large-scale attack.
Turkey regularly launches air strikes into northern Iraq, a region where it has repeatedly sent commandos to support its offensives.
Commander in the Peshmerga forces, Jamal Warani, revealed that two attacks against security patrols were thwarted, between Kifri and Garmyan, and Tuz Khurmatu.
Warani told Shafaq News agency that an explosive device planted on the side of the road was detected on the outskirts of Kifri and Tuz Khurmatu.
He added that the explosive ordnance disposal squads intervened and located another bomb, before dismantling both devices.
Peshmerga units are deployed on the borders separating the Kurdistan Region and east of Saladin governorate, to monitor ISIS terrorists coming from Hamrin and the outskirts of Kirkuk.
On Monday, the Iraqi Military Intelligence arrested an ISIS member west of Nineveh.
In a statement, the Agency said that the 15th Division, backed by the ground forces, raided the location of a terrorist in the village of Al-Sumoud in Zummar district, west of Nineveh, and arrested him.
The detainee is “an ISIS member working in the so-called Mutah Division
...I’m not sure what is meant in this context, but mutah is that short duration marriage Muslims are so fond of — by contract only hours or days — that to Western eyes looks like cleric-assisted prostitution...
– Wilayat Al-Jazira.
...that’s ISIS’s media department. My confusion is not hereby lessened.
His brother and son had worked with the terrorist organization, but the first was killed, and his son was arrested earlier.
On Monday, five rockets landed near the Ain al-Assad military base in Al-Anbar Governorate, western Iraq.
A security source told Shafaq News Agency that the rockets were launched from the western side of the Base.
He did not provide further details.
Earlier this year, five rockets landed inside the Base.
Ain Al-Asad is located in Al-Anbar Governorate of western Iraq, approximately 180km west of Baghdad.
The Base hosts Iraqi Armed Forces and Global Coalition forces.
It was the second-largest US military airbase in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
It is worth noting that the foreign military facilities were subjected to repeated targeting in the country.
No one claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Washington accuses armed Iraqi factions linked to Iran of being behind the attacks, especially following the killing of the Iranian Quds Force commander, Qassem Soleimani, and the deputy head Al-Hashd Al-Shaabi, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, in an American airstrike near Baghdad International Airport.
Two Iraqi security officials said the Grad missiles struck inside the Ain al-Asad base in Iraq's western Anbar province and caused minor damages but no casualties.
A previously unknown group hostile to the United States’ military presence in Iraq, “International Resistance,” claimed responsibility for the attack on a pro-Iran Telegram channel.
[IsraelTimes] Army says suspects were throwing stones, Molotov cocktails and burning tires as soldiers operated near village of Hursa; no word on condition of man hit by Israeli fire
The IDF said its troops fired at Paleostinians who were violent mostly peacefully rioting near the southern West Bank village of Hursa late Monday night.
The army said the suspects were throwing stones and Molotov cocktails in addition to burning tires near a military checkpost, as soldiers carried out a nighttime operation. The troops fired at the Paleostinians and hit one of them, according to the IDF.
There was no immediate word on the condition of the suspect, nor as to whether the soldiers had used live fire.
None of the Israeli soldiers were maimed in the incident near Hursa, which lies in Area A of the West Bank. Though the Oslo Accords intended such territory to be under full Paleostinian control, the Israeli army regularly carries out raids in such villages, which it says are aimed at countering terror.
The clash took place as tensions across the Green Line were again charged following Sunday’s controversial Jerusalem Day Flag March, which saw some 70,000 religious nationalists parade through the Old City by way of the Damascus Gate and the Moslem Quarter in celebration of the reunification of the capital. Hundreds of participants were filmed chanting "Death to Arabs," "Muhammad is dead," "May your village burn," and other racist slogans while harassing some of the Paleostinian onlookers. The march took place in the shadow of threats by Paleostinian terror groups, warning they would violent mostly peacefully respond if it went through.
