Baku resident Tofig Mammadov told APA that his BMW, he used for taxi, was stolen by the radicals. Mammadov said he did not remember exact date of the day when three passengers took taxi in Khatai District of Baku and asked him to drive to the suburb of the city. When the car left the city, the passengers attacked its driver. â€œA passenger sitting behind threatened me with gun and said he was Kamran Asadov. I heard about him from television and newspapers. Kamran Asadov demanded me to give him the car. I was shocked and didnâ€™t understand his words. He told me that they intended to kill three big persons in Azerbaijan by this car. As I know those persons were US ambassador Anne Derse, British and Israeli ambassadors. Then I collected myself and started talks with them. We agreed that I am giving them my car and they will leave me alone. I promised them not to tell anyone about it. They promised me to return my car after realization of their plansâ€.

Mammadov said he gave his car to Asadov in a suburb of the city. â€œField investigators returned me my car. Passenger compartment of the car was destroyed. They told me it was so because of searches in the carâ€.
