| A camp of gunmen was found by police units and a group of commandos of the Russian Interior Ministry in a forest tract in the southern outskirts of the village of Agachkala of Dagestan’s Buinaksk region. “While examining the camp, about 1,000 fire arms cartridges, two grenades, a belt with explosive and hitting elements, as well as religious literature, camouflage uniforms and communication means were found there, press service of the Dagestani Interior Ministry told. Four kilometres from the camp, commandos found a cache with a lot of foodstuffs, a 10-litre container with explosive and a notebook with surnames, numbers of cars and call-signs of officers of the Dagestani Interior Ministry. “According to the preliminary information, all the findings belonged to members of the bandit group “Buinaksk Jamaat,” a representative of the ministry said. “On August 15, one of the groups of this criminal community tried to organize shooting on the military compound of the 136th motor-rifle brigade of the Russian Defence Ministry dislocated in Buinaksk.” However, police frustrated the terrorists’ plans. One of the terrorists, Abdulkadyr Mutashev, was killed in an exchange of fire. Another three managed to escape in a forest near the village of Agachkala. |
