Two of five persons killed by power agents in Untsukul District of Dagestan were not militants, locals assert
On July 6, the Untsukul District of Dagestan was put under the counterterrorist operation (CTO) regime. According to the NAC, the special operation claimed the life of one law enforcer; three other power agents were wounded. Five suspected militants were killed; and three of them were identified as Rasul Gadjiev, Abdulkhalim Gadjiev and Magomed Adalaev.
The brothers Rasul and Abdulkhalim Gadjiev and their son-in-law Magomed Adalaev had been long known to locals as militants, a resident of the Untsukul District, who preferred to remain anonymous, told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
"They went to the forest many years ago. Their liquidation arouses no people's questions. But then the law enforcers killed two more local residents and beat up another one who was thrown into a ravine. They say he also died, but this is unconfirmed information. Their fellow villagers say that they had nothing to do with the 'forest people'," said the source.
So far, the "Caucasian Knot" has no comments of law enforcers regarding these statements of local residents.
