A cousin of the woman suicide bomber who exploded herself in the Moscow metro identified among the gunmen killed in Dagestan

Magomed Adalaev, one of the gunmen killed on April, 18, during a special operation near the settlement of Tashkapur, Levashi district of Dagestan, turned out to be a cousin of Mariam Sharipova who exploded herself in "Lubianka" metro station of Moscow in March, 2010. A source in one of the power ministries reported that the special operation in Tashkapur had been planned based on the information received about a visit of Israpil Valijanov, one of the leaders of Dagestani underground, to the settlement. 

We will remind of a report of law enforcement officers that they tried to stop a group of supposed gunmen in "Lada Priora" and "Lada Kalina" cars but during the attempt of detention they put up armed resistance and were killed. None of the law enforcement officers was injured and four men in the cars were killed. A leader of Dagestani armed underground Israpil Valijanov was identified among those killed. One more man killed in the skirmish was recognized as Magomed Adalaev. 

A source in one of the law enforcement bodies said that the operative agents had received the information that Israpil Valijanov from time to time used to call on to the village of Balakhani, Untsukul district of the republic. He had always done it observing rigid rules of conspiracy. As a rule, he had been in contact with two or three tried-and-true men only and avoided visiting ordinary fighters' stations. This time he supposedly came to hold one more gathering of his fellow-fighters in Balakhani, "Commersant" reported today.  

"The inspection in Tashkapur has certainly not been random. A plan of detaining him in the village would not be realistic but as soon as we got a chance to catch him halfway riot squad intervened", our source says. 

The gunmen have not yet confirmed the information of Israpil Valijanov's death.
