Law enforcers come under attack in Dagestan, kill attackers

Law enforcers come under attack in Dagestan, kill attackers

15 July 2011 02:09 (UTC +04:00)

Baku-APA. Law enforcement officers in the Russian North Caucasus republic of Dagestan killed three armed people who attacked them late on Thursday, a police source reported, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti.

When the officers stopped a car for a check in connection with a probe into the murder of a deputy riot police commander earlier in the day, three people inside it opened fire.

"All those inside the car were killed by return fire," the source said.

No law enforcers were injured in the clash. An investigation is underway.

The deputy riot police commander, Shamil Murtuzaliyev, was gunned down by unknown assailants in an attack in Dagestan on Thursday at noon.

Dagestan has been troubled by Islamist militancy that has spread from neighboring Chechnya, which has seen two brutal separatist wars in the past two decades.
