According to him, four persons suspected of involvement in an armed attack are detained.

It was reported that on October 9, a shootout occurred in the territory of the Kizlyar marketplace. As a result, one person was killed and seven others were wounded. Unidentified gunmen fired on the director of the marketplace and his bodyguards to "divide" the commercial facility.

"We have detained four persons involved in the armed attack, and soon we will detain the fifth person. They will be charged within the statutory period. The motive of the crime is to divide the marketplace. The conflict was started by Mamaev, the deputy director of the marketplace, who actually ran the marketplace, and Guseinov, the new director of the marketplace, appointed by the 'Dagpotrebsoyuz'," Umargadji Khasanmirzaev has reported.

"The 'Dagpotrebsoyuz' was under his control, are at present, various people want to grab profitable objects. Osman Mamaev, the former director of the marketplace, was from people of Saigid Murtazaliev. Earlier, Guseinov, the newly appointed director of the market, ran the marketplace of Izberbash. And he is a native of the village of Tlyarata," the source has stated.
