Russian Police Lieutenant-Colonel Killed in Grozny
By Ruslan Isayev
GROZNY, Chechnya – Movsredin Kantayev, a police lieutenant-colonel working with the Russian Interior Ministry, has been killed in Chechnya. According to a source in the Chechen Interior Ministry, the policeman’s body was discovered on the motorway near the village of Petropavlovskaya, Grozny District, in his own passenger car.
Kantayev received several gunshot wounds, from which he died on the spot. His attackers stole his duty weapons: a Stechkin pistol and a Makarov pistol.
Kantayev was the head of the operational-investigative bureau of the Naursky District Police Department of the Russian Interior Ministry’s Central Command for the Southern Federal Region.
In addition, a Russian military serviceman was wounded today in the Staropromyslovsky District of Grozny as a result of a landmine explosion on the motorway that runs out of Grozny. The explosive device went off at Zavety Ilyicha Street at the moment when a group of military reconnaissance personnel was passing.
The contract soldier, who received numerous shrapnel wounds, was taken to the military hospital in Khankala.
Yesterday, during the examination of the territory around a checkpoint in the Staropromyslovsky District, another serviceman was wounded by the explosion of a landmine placed by persons unknown, and died after being taken to hospital.
