| [ALMANAR.LB] Russian security forces have killed six Death Eater snuffies with suspected ties to foreign forces of Evil in the country's volatile North Caucasus, the anti-terror committee said on Monday. Special forces launched an anti-terror operation overnight in the southern Russian city of Nalchik, surrounding snuffies that had barricaded themselves in an apartment building. "Six bandidos were neutralized as a result of the festivities," Russian news agencies cited a spokesperson of the national anti-terrorism committee as saying on Monday. "Negotiations with the gang lasted a few hours. The snuffies refused to lay down their arms and opened fire against law enforcement officials." Authorities claimed the gang fostered ties with an "international terror organization" which they did not name, and accused it of a number of crimes, including the murder of a police officer. On Sunday, security forces said they had killed eight Death Eater hard boys, members of an insurgency group that pledged allegiance to ISIL earlier this year. |
