NAC reports on elimination of militant leader plotting terror acts in KBR

Tonight, at about midnight, in the city of Chegem of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR), a crew of the road-and-patrol service (known as DPS) has been attacked. During the shootout, a policeman was wounded, two attackers were killed by return fire, and one more attacker managed to escape. This was reported by an official from the Investigating Department for the KBR of the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF).

According to the NAC, the killed attackers have been already identified. "According to the preliminary information, the killed militants are identified as a leader and an active member of the criminal grouping, both of whom were put on the federal wanted list. Their criminal grouping is considered to be a part of the so-called 'south-western sector of the vilayat of the KBR,' which is a structural part of the banned international terrorist organization 'Imarat Kavkaz'," the "Interfax" quotes today the NAC's report as stating.

NAC claims that the above militant grouping was plotting a series of terror acts in the territory of the KBR.
