Mansur Magomayev killed
Federal security officials killed a top separatist fighter in a gunfight in eastern Chechnya on Monday, military officials said. Mansur Magomayev was killed after he refused arrest during a special operation in the eastern city of Gudermes, according to a statement from the regional headquarters for federal forces in the North Caucasus.
"Come out witcher hands up, Mansur!"
"You'll never take me alive, coppers!"
[BANG! BANG! BANGETY BANG!]
"Hokay."
NTV broadcast footage of heavily armed soldiers bursting through a gate at a home, and later showed a man it identified as Magomayev lying on the ground with his hands bound. Guns, explosives, ammunition, night-vision goggles and other equipment were found at the house, the statement said. Also Monday, more than 100 people demonstrated outside the government headquarters in Grozny, calling for authorities to do more to locate three men in their 50s who were kidnapped more than a month ago and were allegedly being held at a regional detention center. Chechen authorities have refused to comment on the men's whereabouts.
