MIA: group of snipers is shelling militia posts in Dagestan

In the last two day in Makhachkala, unknown persons shot dead four militiamen, and several more were wounded. Militiamen suppose that a group of snipers is hunting them.

At present, an operative group of the Investigatory Committee at the Prosecutor's Office (ICPO) of Russia is conducting actions aimed to establish the circumstances of today's shelling in Makhachkala and the persons involved in the crimes. The "Echo Moskvy" Radio reports that criminal cases have been initiated on the facts of criminals' attacks on militia posts in Makhachkala.

Now, all the entrances and exits to and from the capital of Dagestan are blocked, all the vehicles are examined, documents of drivers of trucks and cars are checked, and the passenger motor transport is checked, as reported by the "Dni.Ru" edition.

The law enforcement bodies suspect that the attacks are committed by a group of snipers, which has been hunting militiamen for several days already.
