Police have killed a senior Islamist militant in a shootout in Russia's North Caucasus before the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the national anti-terror committee has said.
The operation against Eldar Magatov, a suspect in numerous attacks on Russian targets, at a house where he had taken refuge in the Dagestan region was part of an intensifying security clampdown as the Games approach.
President Vladimir Putin has staked his political reputation on organising a successful Olympics and tightened security nationwide after insurgents who hope to create an Islamist state in the North Caucasus threatened to attack the Games.

ReplyDeleteSince we now can have a foreign born president, we need to get Putin to run America! He at least cares about his people and won't mollycoddle terrorists! He is a real man, not the pansy ass gutless puke we're stuck with!
ReplyDeleteThe Russians have more balls than Americans do.
