Dagestani terrorist gets 16 years
2013-08-03
A court in he Russian republic of Dagestan has sentenced terrorist militant Ruslan Ismailov, convicted in a deadly attack last year in the republic's capital, Makhachkala, to 16 years in a maximum security penal colony, the Investigative Committee said Friday. Investigators said Ismailov was a member of extremist group Vilayat Dagestan, from October 2010 to June 2012.

The committee's statement said Ismailov, "as a member of the criminal group, took part in committing a terrorist attack by blowing up two vehicles," adding that he also inflicted damages exceeding $600,000.

Ismailov initially resisted detention but later agreed to cooperate with officials. He was found guilty of participation in a criminal group and committing an act of terrorism. In addition to his prison sentence, he was fined $3,000.

Last year, Russian media reported that the country's National Anti-Terrorism Committee killed the organizer of the Makhachkala attack, identified as Gussein Mamayevas, well as another terrorist militant linked to it.
