FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Akhmed Kotiev, the head of Ingushetia’s Security Council, and his driver were killed close to the village of Nizhnie Achaluki in Ingushetia Tuesday morning, the Russian Investigative Committee said in a statement.
The unknown gunmen opened fire on Kotiev’s car as he was being driven to work, investigators added.
Kotiev’s driver died at the scene of the crime while the top regional security official later perished in a hospital.
“The main theory is that [the attack is related] to Akhmed’s activities and work as a secretary of the Security Council, and even more connected to the activities of the Adaptation Commission that works on assisting those insurgents who have recently surrendered,” said the head of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov.
Russia has been fighting militants since the mid 1990s in its North Caucasus region, where the Republics of Chechnya, Dagestan, and Ingushetia have been the scene of sporadic attacks and militant clashes.
On August 4, a police officer was killed and three others injured when unidentified gunmen opened fire on them at a checkpoint in Russia’s North Caucasus Republic of Dagestan.
On May 25, one police officer was killed and 14 others injured after a bomb explosion occurred near the headquarters of Dagestan’s Interior Ministry in Makhachkala.
On May 1, three people were killed and two others injured after unidentified assailants pelted a police car with bullets in the city of Buinaksk, 48 kilometers southwest of Makhachkala.
Violence first broke out in Chechnya in 1994, when 250,000 people were forced to flee to neighboring territories because of a war between Chechen separatists and the Russian army.
After a short-lived period of relative peace from 1996 to 1999, the war resumed following attacks blamed on Chechen militant groups.
An estimated 100,000 people have been killed and thousands more displaced in the conflict.
