Three terrorist attacks in three months

Questions of Novaya Gazeta about events in Dagestan

On June 23, events officially qualified as a terrorist attack occurred in Makhachkala and Derbent. Armed people attacked two Orthodox temples, two synagogues and a traffic police post. People were killed, including the Derbent Orthodox priest, and the head of one of the police departments was killed in a shootout. Two participants in the attack turned out to be the sons of the head of the Sergokalinsky district of Dagestan Magomed Omarov, he was detained by the FSB.

All this happened 8 months after mass extremist riots in Makhachkala with anti -Semitic slogans that ended with the assault on the airport. Riots, about the sentences of which are still not aware of anything. And exactly 4 days after the NAC and the FSB in Dagestan reported on “using all the possibilities to prevent risks” of terrorism.

Official messages about the events are contradictory: various departments do not converge even among the dead, and politicians managed to publicly argue about the interests of the attack. The company was not explained to the company: how the security forces blinking thoroughly planned terrorist attacks in two cities at once and how work was set to identify those who are ready to join terrorist organizations. The third major terrorist attack in the country for 3 months (not yet brought to the end of the investigation of the attack on Crocus and the capture of hostages in the Rostov pre -trial detention center) suggests that the operational work of the special services is now reduced to the search for pacifics, and there are no longer enough forces and terrorists to fight real extremists and terrorists.

Here are the questions that in connection with Dagestan events arose at the editorial office of Novaya Gazeta:

• What is the exact number of those who died during the terrorist attack of law enforcement officers and civilians?

• How many militants participated in attacks? How many of them are killed? Are there detainees?

• What terrorist organization did the attack participants belong to? Did law enforcement agencies have information about this?

• How and where did the militants receive weapons from?

• How was the coordination of the actions of militants simultaneously in two cities?

• Was the operational work with the underground were conducted in the republic, did the security forces receive information about the upcoming terrorist attack, did this information check?

• Were the persons who took the Makhachkala Airport in search of citizens of Israel six months ago? Were participants in the riots on operational accounting? What work was carried out with them? Are there any connection between those who arranged a pogrom at the airport and a terrorist underground?

• Was the prevention of anti -Semitism and radical Islamism was conducted by law enforcement agencies? What was it expressed in? Who was responsible for her?
