Resident of Dagestan asserts that power agents planted a bomb into her house

Power agents claim that in the house, which was blown up today in the Karabudakhkent District of Dagestan, they found an explosive device; however the owner Aslikhanum Dadaeva is sure that the bomb had been planted by law enforcers themselves.

"I don't know exactly what they had planted, but I'm sure that they did it: we've never had any explosive devices in our house," the woman told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Aslikhanum Dadaeva, the mother of Arsen Dadaev, killed on February 5 in Izberbash, whose husband was, according to her story, detained on February 17 power agents, said today that her home located in the village of Novy Agachaul was surrounded by armed men and military machines. At that moment there were five women, two children and two men – a brother of Dadaeva's husband and her disabled son. At about 3:30 p.m. the house was blown up.

The owner told us that power agents drove her and the relatives outside the cordon early in the morning. They heard the explosion at the end of the search.

"No one knows what they did inside the house – there were neither witnesses, nor us, the owners of the house, there," said Aslikhanum Dadaeva.

Oleg Orlov, a member of the Board of the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial" and the manager of the programme "Hot Spots", said in his interview to the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent that the special actions undertaken today in Novy Agachaul were another punitive campaign executed by power agents.

Today, representatives of HRC "Memorial" have visited the cordoned household; however, the explosion occurred just as they were leaving the place, said Orlov.
