Patimat Mutalieva: during attempt on President of Ingushetia I was on my way to examination
Patimat Mutalieva, named by the investigation to be a probable terrorist involved in the attempt on President of Ingushetia Yunus-Bek Evkurov, at the moment of the terror act was on her way to exam in psychology at the polytechnic college in Nazran, where she is a student. The girl told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent about it by telephone.
The version about Mutalieva's involvement in the terror act was suggested to journalists by an anonymous source in law enforcement bodies of the republic. He said that the woman could thus take revenge for her perished brothers. One of them - Khasan Mutaliev - was killed on February 12, 2009, in the course of a special operation in Nazran.
The girl was talking to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent from the phone of her mother Maka Mutalieva, who was in a deep shock after she learnt about accusations against her daughter.
"It's a lie; this just could never happen (a terror act against Evkurov with participation of Patimat, - comment of the "Caucasian Knot"). What has my Patimat to do with it? In no case she couldn't be involved in any attempt. I don't know who could have needed such a lie," Maka Mutalieva has stated.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that human rights activists have also rejected the information about any Mutalieva's involvement in the terror act.
"That fact that Patimat Mutalieva is alive and at home is a confirmation of her non-involvement in the attempt on Evkurov," said Tatiana Kasatkina, executive director of the Human Rights Centre "Memorial".
According to Vladimir Markin, the spokesman of the ICPO, experts have not yet identified the person and the sex of the suicide bomber who rammed President Evkurov's cortege, the "Gazeta.Ru" reports.
However, experts-geneticists already possess a base of genetic materials received from relatives of participants of illegal armed formations (IAFs) and from militants liquidated during special operations.
Still, there are indirect evidences that a woman was driving the car stuffed with explosive. Toes were found corresponding in size to a woman's or teenager's foot, as reported by the "Kommersant".
