– INGUSHETIAN MINISTER KILLED
A construction minister in Ingushetia, in the volatile Russian Caucasus, Ruslan Amerkhanov has been shot dead, on Wednesday 08/12/2009, in his office, police say. His killing is the latest in a string of attacks on high-level officials in the mainly Muslim region.
A spokesman for the local prosecutor’s office said Ruslan Amerkhanov “was shot dead by an unidentified gunman this morning”, in his office in Magas, the administrative capital.
The attack was carried out by two men in camouflage, brandishing automatic weapons and pistols, an interior ministry source was quoted as saying by the RIA Novosti news agency. “After the attack they drove from the ministry in an unknown direction” in a Russian-made car, the source said.
Ingushetia and other regions in Russia’s northern Caucasus are battling Islamist fighters who have been targeting pro-Kremlin local authorities.
Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, the Ingush president, is recovering after being seriously wounded in a suicide bomb attack on his motorcade on 06/22/2009 (see – Nazran 06.22.09).
Earlier in June, Aza Gazgireyeva, the deputy head of Ingushetia’s supreme court, was killed when assailants opened fire on her car.
Amerkhanov’s killing also comes a day after the head of a Russian , Zarema Sadulayeva, and her husband were found shot dead in Grozny, the Chechen capital, on Tuesday 08/11/2009.
