ICRF: resident of Dagestani village of Gotsatl was probably killed by militants
As reported by the Investigating Department (ID) for Dagestan of the Investigating Committee of the Russian Federation (ICRF), Omar Anasov, a resident of the village of Gotsatl, Khunzakh District, who was killed on Thursday, July 17, could fall victim to illegal armed formations (IAFs). A local said that the man was shot dead by two unknown masked attackers.
"The murder was committed in the morning when Omar Anasov was on his way to the mosque for prayer. He was shot dead at the entrance to the mosque," said the source.
According to his story, the casualty had once worked for the Dagestani Department of the Federal Service for Supervising Drug Trafficking for the Khunzakh District, but seven years ago he left his job and was engaged in farming.
"The casualty left the job for the drug control seven years ago; and so far we don't associate the murder with his service activities. Several versions are considered, in particular, hostile relations, but the main version is that he was attacked by IAF members," the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told at the local ID of the ICRF.
According to Gotsatl villagers, Anasov could be shot dead by IAF members, as he was an active opponent to the followers of the radical Islam.
