One serviceman killed, another injured in Dagestan
2013-08-26
A serviceman was killed and another injured when unknown assailants attacked them in Dagestan early Wednesday. The incident happened in the town of Buinaksk, about 40 kilometers southwest of the republic's capital Makhachkala.

Buinaksk was the site of a counterterrorism operation Tuesday. Nine suspected terrorists militants were killed during an armed siege at a home in the town, "including the odious leader Bammatkhan Sheikhov," according to the Russian Anti-Terrorism Committee.

The committee said a group led by Sheikhov had been responsible for the killing of civilians and law enforcement officials, including an attack on a military base near Buinaksk in 2010.
