Grenades thrown into yards of two households in Nalchik

This night, unidentified persons have thrown grenades into the courtyards of the families of Mamishevs and Shamaevs, residents of the "Volny Aul" micro-district in Nalchik. Many people in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (KBR) are inclined to believe that the incidents were organized by the anti-Wahhabite organization named "Chernye Yastreby" (Black Hawk), which has recently appeared in the region.

The members of the families attacked today - Astemir Mamishev and Azparukh Shamaev are on the federal search list as suspects of involvement in a series of resonant murders.

Earlier, the "Black Hawk" had stated - in their video statement posted on the Internet - their readiness to respond with terror to terror, and threat to execute militants' families and militants themselves. Some people in the KBR believe that the "Hawks" are nationalist-minded young people. This is partly confirmed in the video, where they claim that they do not need "Arabic culture".
