Remorseful video released of Amir Bokov, suspected of attacking law enforcers in Ingushetia

Amir Bokov, a resident of Ingushetia, who surrendered to law enforcers after a shootout in Zyazikov-Yurt, has explained in the video that after realizing the fallacy of his actions, he voluntarily came to the police so that there would be no new killings of law enforcers.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that after the shelling of the DPS (road-and-patrol service) traffic police post located on the Ingush-North-Ossetian border committed on March 28, six residents of Ingushetia were put on the wanted list. Later, two of them, Ramazan Eldiev and Movsar Kottoev, were found dead. The wanted men twice escaped from law enforcers after shootouts – on April 3 in Malgobek and on April 5 in Zyazikov-Yurt; and both times law enforcers suffered losses. On April 7, Amir Bokov surrendered to the police; then, it became known about the detention of Mikail Moshkhoev; after which only Amirkhan Gurazhev and Adam Ozdoev remained on the wanted list. Later, the head of Ingushetia reported that four alleged militants were killed and two were detained during the counterterrorist operation (CTO).

On April 1, the Bokov teip (family clan) addressed other Ingush teips and informed that its members were cooperating with law enforcers in the search for their relative. Before that, the Bokov teip members used the Internet to call on Amir to return home; they searched for him in the forest. Law enforcers reported that on April 7, Amir Bokov came to the police station with his uncle.

The "Zvezda" (Star) TV channel has posted the video with Bokov in its website.

The law enforcers' losses during the shootouts in Zyazikov-Yurt, namely, three casualties and eight wounded ones, were the highest within one day among law enforcers in Ingushetia since August 2012.
