| A well-equipped camp of an illegal armed group has been destroyed in the mountains of Chechnya in a police sweep operation, in which one militant was killed, Chechen Interior Minster Ruslan Alkhanov told Interfax on Sunday. "The dugout was discovered by Itum-Kala police in a forest outside the village of Zumso. Police forces were sent to the area early on Sunday, where they destroyed the base, killing one militant, presumably a member of the Tarkhan Gaziyev group," the interior minister said. Two Kalashnikov assault rifles, eleven magazines, maps of dugouts and caches in the Itum-Kala district, blasting operations instructions, 2,000 cartridges, eleven grenades, detonators, 13 rounds for shoulder- held grenade launchers and eight explosive pellets were discovered at the scene. The dugout had reserves of fresh water, food, firewood and foreign- made camouflage uniforms, and may have been used as a command post, which can be judged from the large number of telephones and notebooks discovered in it, Alkhanov said. Ten rounds for shoulder-fired grenade launchers, four mortar mines and a large amount of ammunition were found near the village of Eshilkhatoi in the neighboring Vedeno district. Two militants were arrested in targeted sweep operations in Grozny and in the Achkhoi-Martan district, Alkhanov said. |
