RT: 11 militants from ISIS-linked gang killed in anti-terror op in Russia’s North Caucasus
Russian special forces have killed 11 militants from a gang that swore allegiance to Islamic State, according to National Counter-Terrorist Committee. The counter-terrorist operation is continuing in a mountainous region near the city of Nalchik in Russia’s North Caucasus.
The firefight between police and the militants started on early Sunday morning in woodland adjacent to Nalchik, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, where counter-terrorist operation was announced on Saturday. A unit searching a territory near the city spotted a group of militants in a dug-out.
WNU Editor: For as long as I have can remember, the Soviet Union (and now Russia) has always had a radical Islamic insurgency in the Caucasus. But I cannot help but sense that this time it is different .... that the Islamic State (if not stopped) will bring war and conflict in the Caucasus that has not been seen since the Chechen wars of the 1990s.
