INGUSHETIA – RETWA reported last night that at least three active duty and former policemen had been killed by a large group of fighters who had assaulted the village of Muzhichi shortly before might.  More details on that raid became available today.

 

We now know that about 30 fighters on foot entered Muzhichi last night at 21:30 from the forest.  According to witnesses, they spoke several Caucasus languages and Russian, but eye-witnesses say the majority were Ingush nationals  between the ages of 16 and 25.  They were dressed in camouflage uniforms and several wore masks.  “They were frightfully skinny,” one witness said and “very hungry.”   The group split up into several groups, one headed toward the grocery store, while the rest went hunting policemen.
