Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic stated that on January 6 of 2013 they managed to liquidate an extremist group in the city of Baksan, which was planning a series of terrorist acts against Orthodox churches and their parishioners. All terrorist acts were planned to be held in the territory of Kabardino-Balkaria.
The destruction of the militants took place after at one of the posts the Interior Ministry officers stopped the GAZel for inspection. According to operational data in the cars were several terrorists. As soon as they tried to resist the police, police officers opened fire to kill. Three men who were in cars were killed.
The press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kabardino-Balkaria spread information according to which the destroyed militants were going to activate the “hellish cars” in the Christian churches of the North Caucasus republic on Christmas night. In addition, operatives say about the upcoming series of terrorist attacks in the Stavropol region, in the development of which the same gang group could have been involved.
