Скачать или смотреть Russian police kill Islamist militant leader ahead of Sochi Olympics

Looking to crush terrorist threats to the Sochi Olympics before they get off

the ground, Russian police have killed a senior Islamist militant in Russia's

North Caucasus region.
The country's National Anti-Terror Committee say Eldar Magatov, a suspect in

attacks on Russian targets and alleged leader of an insurgent group in

Dagestan, died Tuesday in a shootout with police.
Security forces are also scouring Sochi for a so-called 'black widow' terrorist

who may have arrived in the Olympic host city earlier this month to organize

an attack before or during the Games.
The Islamist militant group behind two suicide bombings in the southern city

of Volgograd last month has warned of more attacks if the Olympics go

ahead in Sochi.
