Source in MIA of Ingushetia: FSB officers shot peaceful citizens dead

On February 28, employees of the FSB (Federal Security Bureau) could have shot dead two men and a woman who had been kidnapped earlier, having simulated a skirmish and planting the weapons. This version of the conducted operation was put forward by a source in the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Ingushetia.

The source from the MIA thinks that if an armed resistance had been rendered from the house, it should have lasted till evening, and without a sapper group the power agents would not be able to enter the house, the "Ingushetia.Ru" Internet portal reports.

"The FSB workers speak about a short fight, although we perfectly know that even in case of resistance of one person, they first surround the house, open fire from armoured vehicles, set the house on fire, call firemen and sappers, and only then enter the premise. The murdered Ausheva was registered as missing. We can't exclude that the rest of the victims were also among missing or kidnapped persons," the militiaman said.

According to power agents, Madina Ausheva, who blew herself up with a grenade on February 28 in one of private households in the Altievskiy municipal district of Nazran during a special operation aimed to detain supposed militants was registered as missing.

The neighbours of the victims tell that two men and a young pregnant woman were really living in the house. One of the neighbours said that the killed woman was of rather positive behaviour. Another neighbour asserts that there was no armed resistance rendered from the house, and it was just shelled by local FSB fighters.

According to the "Ingushetia.Ru" website, the special operation of the FSB was a revenge for the explosion of a car with their colleagues, accomplished on February 27 in Ordzhonikidzevskaya village, Sunzha District, in "Privoz" marketplace.
