District militiaman shot dead in Dagestan
In the city of Kizil-Yurt, Dagestan, unidentified persons killed a district militia captain and stole his firearms.
"At about one o'clock at night, unidentified persons opened fire on the service Niva car driven by militia captain Ruslan Gadzhanov. He was killed, and his service firearms - a Kalashnikov sub-machine gun, a Makarov pistol and plenty of ammunition to them - were stolen," reports a source from the local ROVD (District Interior Division).
According to the source, the officer's professional work could be the main motive of the murder.
Now, an operative-investigatory group works in the place of the incident. Militiamen are searching the attackers, the "Interfax" reports.
