The imam of a mosque in the North Caucasus province of Dagestan was gunned down by unidentified gunmen. The victim, Zainudin Daiziyev, was at least the third imam killed since June in Dagestan.
| Running a mosque or a shrine quickly leads to inordinate personal prosperity and power. These are things to be prized by the right sort of mind, |
Unidentified gunmen entered Daiziyev's home in the village of Kadar late on Thursday and opened fire at him with automatic weapons, according to Dagestan's Interior Ministry. Police found 57 spent shells at the scene. |
