 One of four alleged Islamic terrorists militants killed by law enforcers in Dagestan on Thursday was a former police officer who already quit the insurgency once.
Sidik Aliyev and three others were shot down by return fire when they attacked police officers who stopped their Mercedes SUV for a check. Aliyev had a track record of supplying the terrorists militants with food and weapons and providing them with transportation. He surrendered to authorities in 2006 and received a pardon, but continued to support the Islamist terrorists rebels in the North Caucasus republic.
Police identified another dead terrorist militant as Kazimagomed Shibayev, an arms dealer who was providing terrorists rebels with firearms since the early 1990s for which he served a two-year prison term.
Officers found plenty of weapons in the SUV, including an automatic rifle, a rocket launcher, a handgun, several grenades, 700 bullets and explosives worth three kilograms of TNT. |
