Russian police gun down Islamic jihadist leader ahead of Sochi Olympic Games

MOSCOW — Police have killed a senior Islamist militant in a shootout in Russia’s North Caucasus ahead of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, the National Anti-terror Committee said on Tuesday.

The shooting of Eldar Magatov, a suspect in numerous attacks on Russian targets, at a house where he had taken refuge in the Dagestan region was part of an intensifying security clampdown as the Games approach. http://nypost.com/2014/01/21/russian-police-gun-down-islamist-militant-leader-ahead-of-sochi/
