| (Itar-Tass) -- A criminal case is opened over the murder of a FSB officer in Kabardino-Balkaria, a source at the Investigation Committee's department in the republic told Itar-Tass on Saturday. Murat Tlizamov, 30, aide of the Baksan district's duty commandant of the Federal Security Service's ... the successor to the KGB... department in the republic, was rubbed out in the city of Baksan late on Friday. At about 22:50 Moscow time, at the corner of Karashayev and Komarov Streets, an unidentified attacker fired several shots from a 9-mm-caliber PM pistol at Tlizamov, who was walking to his home. The officer died at the site, the source said. Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev, speaking at a meeting in Pyatigorsk on Friday, noted that the highest terrorism threat level among the North Caucasian republics was in Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkaria. High activity of the bandit underground was reported in the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, he noted. It is necessary to once again probe deep into the complicated situation marked with the more than five-time growth of terrorist crimes, the minister emphasised. Six times more shooting attacks and five times more kabooms have been committed in Kabardino-Balkaria this year than over the same period last year. Activities of gunnies leaders are aimed more and more at stirring up interethnic conflicts and creating hotbeds of tension, he said. |
