A Few Less Jihadists

Dagestan, Russia -- in the small Buynaksky region of Dagestan, a local "senior" terrorist Abdula Magomedov was injured and captured, after a successful police operation.

The night before, local police received information that the terrorists were hiding in the small village Girey-Avlak, and to be safe, officers waited for daylight and moved into the village with SWAT teams and court-issued warrants to search the local houses. However, they didn't need the warrants, because as the jihadists spotted the law enforcement agents approaching, they opened fire with Kalashnikov assault rifles.

Two terrorists managed to run away, another one took his shoes off to climb a nearby mountain faster, but he was shot down (he didn't climb fast enough). The leader was injured, while shooting back at the officers. Now Mr. Magomedov is in the local hospital under tight security, waiting for his trial date to face justice. Police found 20 canisters of explosives, tons of weapons, and other jihadist toys.

Good job, Russian police!
