Raids leave two militant warlords dead in Dagestan
The National Anti-Terrorism Committee said law enforcement officers killed in separate raids the alleged leaders of two insurgent groups in Dagestan on Wednesday.
Magomed Al-Bara Abdusalamov was gunned down near the village of Khuchni. Abdusalamov, the alleged leader of the so-called Izberbash gang, was transporting a powerful bomb made from a 100-liter barrel filled with explosives, which was defused by a bomb squad.
Elsewhere in the republic, police gunned down Nazhmudin Abu-Zeit Nazhmudinov, the supposed head of the Tsumada gang. A policeman was killed and two others injured during that shootout, along with Nazhmudinovs female supporter Zarema Ramadanova, who also shot at the officers.
