[KavkazUzel] The Ingush security forces twice missed the alleged militants, which indicates their unpreparedness and miscalculations against the backdrop of a decline in underground activity in the republic, veterans of law enforcement agencies Amir Kolov and Sergey Goncharov pointed out. Violations of the rights of residents of Ingushetia during counter-terrorist operations remain a frequent occurrence, said Ingush public figures.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the security forces discovered the alleged participants in the attack on the traffic police post on a farm in Malgobek, the suspects opened fire on the security forces, wounded one of them and fled, a law enforcement source said. From 20.00 Moscow time on April 3, a counter-terrorist operation regime was announced in the Malgobek district of Ingushetia.
On March 29, after the attack on the traffic police post, the FSB department for Ingushetia announced the search for four residents of the republic - Mikail Moshkhoev, Ramazan Eldiev, Amir Bokov and Amirkhan Gurazhev - in connection with the preparation of terrorist attacks. On the same day, it became known that Ramazan Eldiev was found dead on the morning of March 29.
On April 1, the FSB announced that law enforcement officers were looking for not only Moshkhoev, Bokov and Gurazhev, but also Adam Ozdoev and Movsar Kottoev in the case of planning terrorist attacks.
All five are suspected by security officials of involvement in the attack on the Volga-14 traffic police post on March 27, as a result of which two security officials were injured. The "Caucasian Knot" in the section " North Caucasus - statistics of victims " collects information about the victims of the armed conflict in the North Caucasus,Ingushetia. Chronicle of terrorist attacks, shelling and kidnappings .
The fact that the alleged militants managed to escape with a fight speaks of the unpreparedness of the security forces, retired Colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Amir Kolov is sure. “
"Firstly, it should be noted that there is very little information about what happened. But what is available is enough to talk about the unpreparedness of the security forces. places where they were hiding. That is, the security forces could take measures after the first attack, but they failed to do anything. And then they failed to detain or liquidate them, when their whereabouts were already known," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
The fact that there have been no attacks on security officials in Ingushetia for a long time could also influence the actions of the security forces, he believes.
"The training of the security forces is already lame. There are no competent personnel left who could constantly and responsibly train the security forces for possible such cases. In addition, there were no such attacks for a long time, and they could lose their vigilance," the specialist explained.
The announcement of the CTO regime in the Malgobek region of Ingushetia was preceded by two counter-terrorist operations in the Sunzhensky and Malgobek regions of the republic in August 2020.
Kolov also suggested that the security forces did not have enough information about the group of people involved in the attack.
"Initially, the security forces did not know anything about the plans of this group. Then, when they organized the attack, the security forces failed to respond properly. This is generally their omission. But I would not blame them for everything. The leadership is to blame here. When the policeman is not sure that there is protection behind him, he cannot perform his functions," he stressed.
Sergey Goncharov, President of the Association of Veterans of the Alpha anti-terror unit, noted miscalculations in the actions of the Ingush security forces.
"It all depends on what the situation is. Two militants were killed in Chechnya: they resisted and were killed. Apparently, the situation that developed in Ingushetia did not allow them to destroy the militants. Is it possible to make claims for this? Having experience of participation in such operations, I can say that no, it is impossible. But I can say that there were certain problems in the operation of the security forces after determining the location of the militants. The one responsible for it did not cope with his task," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
On the night of March 29, sources reported an attack on a police post in Gudermes and two people were killed by security forces. Ramzan Kadyrov voiced his version of the incident, saying that the security forces blocked two militants in the private sector, who refused to surrender, threw a grenade and were killed. Several people identified the dead as uncle and nephew, Chechen blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov said.
The ICR Department for Chechnya confirmed the information about the relationship of the killed, stating that they were residents of Gudermes, born in 1963 and 1989. The dead were named Ruslan and Zelim, they said. bloggers.
According to the source of the "Caucasian Knot", one of those killed by the security forces suffered from a mental illness, the information about the mental disorder of one of the killed was confirmed by the authors of the report of the Chechen state television channel. A mentally unhealthy person can be used for illegal purposes, Sergei Goncharov noted. Gennady Gudkov and Igor Kalyapin did not recall cases when a mentally ill person was in an armed formation, and Svetlana Gannushkina* noted that mentally ill people killed during a special operation were later recognized as accomplices of militants.
According to him, the militants should not be allowed to leave.
"The fact that they hid with their uncle is not surprising. But the question is that militants should not be allowed to leave after a military clash. In general, situations should not be allowed when it comes to a military clash. and operational work to prevent such attacks. This is the basis of the work of the special services. In this case, these people would have been detained before the attack on the traffic police post," he said.
Goncharov also believes that the security forces did not have information where the suspects in the attack could be hiding, so the CTO regime was introduced not after the shelling of the post on the night of March 28, but only after the policeman was wounded.
"Immediately after the attack, they should have had clear information about the attackers, where they were hiding. At least they should have found out on the alleged militants immediately after the attack on the post. And WHO was introduced after they already had enough information," he said.
The inhabitants of Ingushetia are not always satisfied with the actions of the security forces during the CTO, an Ingush public figure who wished to remain anonymous told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
"The security forces allowed themselves lawlessness and permissiveness. There was a time when the KTO regime allowed them to do whatever they wanted. Aggression, rudeness, abuse of authority and even robbery were part of their actions. In recent years there have been fewer violations, but I cannot say that all actions were within the law," he said.
At the same time, he excludes that the security forces can pass ordinary citizens off as militants.
"This is ruled out for us. If the security forces named certain names, then they were really involved in the attack. Now it remains to wait for full information from law enforcement agencies in order to understand the purpose and motivation of the attackers," he said.
From the Volga-14 checkpoint to Malgobek, on the Vladikavkaz-Ingushetia road, there are more police posts, but they can be bypassed if desired, Ingush public figure, ecologist Yakub Gogiev told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
"There is another checkpoint there, but it can be bypassed on other roads. As for the attitude of residents to the actions of the security forces during the CTO, people react differently, there are those who complain, but there are those who believe that there is no other way, there are those who are indifferent," he said.
A public figure from Ingushetia, Albert Darbazanov, reported on reinforced security posts on the Vladikavkaz-Ingushetia road. On the road "between Vladikavkaz of North Ossetia and Ingushetia, one can feel a tense situation - reinforced posts of law enforcement officers in bulletproof vests and helmets at the posts," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
The attack on the traffic police post took place on the border of the two republics, but on the territory of North Ossetia. "The attack was carried out on a police post located on the territory of North Ossetia at the intersection of the Nazran-Kantyshevo and Malgobek-Maiskoye highways," the investigative department of the ICR for North Ossetia said.
On March 31, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of North Ossetia announced the strengthening of security measures in the republic after an attack on a traffic police post on the border with neighboring Ingushetia. Additional police squads were sent to checkpoints located on the administrative borders with neighboring regions.
In the message of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Ingushetia, it is said that "Volga-14 post", located near the village of Kantyshevo, Nazranovsky district of Ingushetia, was fired from machine guns. The Ministry of Internal Affairs for Ingushetia also published a video of a fired traffic police post on its website. It follows from this video that the checkpoint is indeed located at the crossroads of the Nazran-Kantyshevo and Malgobek-Maiskoye highways, next to a mosque, a gas station, and a building materials store. According to the Yandex.Maps service, the traffic police post is located (coordinates 43.217256, 44.697542) on the territory of North Ossetia.
