 Militants have killed a mufti of the settlement of Proletarsky and his contemporary in Chechnya. A spokesman at the North Caucasus Operational Staff told Itar-Tass on Friday that the "militants dressed in wearing military uniforms and masks broke into the house and in cold blood made a carnage of the two old people", 69-year-old mufti Amin Gaziyev and Khamidula Umarov. A criminal case has been opened and the search for criminals begun. |
