GROZNY. June 21 (Interfax-AVN) - Unidentified attackers killed a policeman in Chechnya on Friday.
The body of Private Buvaisar Ibragimov, who served in Grozny's Staropromyslovsky district police office, was found with gunshot wounds late on Friday, a police source told Interfax. Ibragimov had been abducted earlier.
Meanwhile, a group of unidentified gunmen wearing camouflage uniforms committed a series of attacks on police officers in the mountainous Itum-Kale district, located near the Georgian border, after midnight. The attackers broke into the house of Private Baudin Saluyev, threatened to kill him, and seized his Kalashnikov assault rifle and service ID, the Itum-Kale police told Interfax.
Acting according to the same pattern, the gang later seized two Makarov pistols, a Kalashnikov assault rifle and a radio transmitter from policemen Vakha Istamulov and Badruddin Mashtayev. Law enforcement officials are attempting to capture them by blocking paths though which the gangsters could have retreated into the wooded mountains.
