“We, the Omarov family, deeply mourn what happened. We have always been against extremism and terrorism. We ask all the families of the victims for forgiveness for the terror aсt that our brother committed,” one of the Omarov brothers stated in the video.
The “Caucasian Knot” has also reported that one of the suspects killed by law enforcers was identified as Ali Zakarigaev, who headed the district branch of the “Spravedlivaya Rossiya” (Fair Russia) Party. Ali Zakarigaev was a nephew of the head of the district. Another uncle of Ali Zakarigaev asked relatives of the victims to forgive those directly involved in the militants’ attack.
