Three members of illegal armed groups were killed in Dagestan's Khasavyurt district overnight in the course of joint operations of police and security services. Two of the gunmen were on a federal police wanted list over terrorism crimes. The identities of all the three are established, a Dagestan law-enforcement source told Itar-Tass on Saturday. When policemen ordered to stop a VAZ car, those in the car opened fire at the policemen. All the three gunmen were killed by return fire. When the VAZ was examined, two Kalashnikov guns, five full magazines for them, four grenades and about 20 SIM cards for mobile telephones were found in the car. A criminal case is opened over the incident on charges of illegal possession of firearms and participation in activities of illegal armed groups.
