| A man, who was a member of an armed group led by Ruslan Nasipov, who was killed in 2005, has been detained in the village of Samashki in Chechnya's Achkhoi-Martan district, the press service of the republic's Interior Ministry told Interfax on Friday. The militant told police where they could find his cache of arms and ammunition. Another militant turned himself in to police in the same village. He surrendered an assault rifle and ammunition. Two militants were captured in the village of Belgatoi in the Shali district on Thursday. They are believed to have sheltered other armed group members and provided them with food supplies, weapons and ammunition, the press service said. Two militants, including a woman, were captured in the town of Argun. They were members of an armed group standing behind the murder of several dozen civilians and policemen and car bombings. One of the militants, who was identified only by his last name, Bekhoyev, admitted to having helped other armed group members move around the town. The detained woman was responsible for gathering information on movements of trucks carrying servicemen and police officers. |
