NAC treats the man killed in Ingushetia as terrorist recruiter

The man, killed today during the CTO in the Malgobek District, was looking for supporters to prepare a terror act and leave for Syria to join militants, the Russian National Antiterrorist Committee (NAC) has informed.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that today, during a counterterrorist operation (CTO) conducted in the village of Voznesenskoye, law enforcers blocked a militant, who refused to surrender, and was killed.

At the scene of the shootout, law enforcers found an improvised explosive device (IED), grenades, automatic firearms and ammunition, the NAC has stated.

The today's CTO was the first in Ingushetia since January. The shootout in the CTO zone is the second armed incident in the republic since the start of the year.
