[KavkazUzel] The Sergokalinsky district is considered secular in Dagestan, however, relatives of the former head of the region Magomed Omarov were participants in a militant attack in Derbent and Makhachkala, Dagestan journalists emphasized. This is not the first case of radicalization of members of the local elite in Dagestan, although status and place of birth are not key factors in joining militants, they say. As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", on June 23, on Trinity Day, which is one of the main Christian holidays, militants attacked synagogues and an Orthodox church in Derbent and Makhachkala. As a result of the attacks, 21 people were killed and 46 were injured. On June 26, doctors described the condition of six of those injured in the militant attack as serious. Sources reported that the 22nd victim  of the militant attack died - a random passerby who happened to be at the synagogue in Derbent. |
