DAGESTAN, 8 March, Caucasus Times. Sources in the Interior Ministry of Dagestan told CaucasusTimes correspondent that they confiscated from the disclosed hiding place 170 cartridges, three hand-grenades F-1, five shells for grenade cup discharger and a notebook with the graphs of the mechanisms of the explosive devises.

In the opinion of the local law enforcement agencies, hiding place with the weapons and amunition belonged to the illegal armed group headed by so called emir of Buinaksk district Abdula Magomedov, which was liquidated in November 2005.

Abdula Magomedov was injured and detained during a special operation in Buinaksk and then he was taken to a hospital where he died. Law enforcement agencies believe he was reporting directly to the leader of Dagestani vakhkhabists Rasul Makasharipov, who was also killed during a special operation in Makhachkala in July 2005.

According to Interior Ministry, Magomedov’s illegal armed group committed more than ten terrorist acts and attempts on lives of the members of the law enforcement agencies. Earlier local militiamen discovered several hiding places belonging to Magomedov’s illegal armed group. Two of those hiding places were disclosed in the Jewish cemetery in Buinaksk.
