The car of a Nazran resident was shelled from automatic firearms; the driver died. This was reported by a law enforcement source, who suggested that the murder was committed on the blood feud grounds.

Tonight, an unidentified man has shelled a car parked at the road shoulder and disappeared. According to eyewitnesses, there was one person in the car, the “Magas.ru” reports.

On the way to the hospital, the victim, a resident of the Nasyr-Kort District named Shankhoev, has died, said the source, noting that the attacker was not alone.

The casualty had been convicted; and the attack on him could be caused by the blood feud of relatives of the woman, who was killed by bandits back in 2001, the source told the “Interfax”.

In Northern Caucasus, the principle of blood feud continues to act as an actual social mechanism, says the article "Blood feud, or how they now kill in the Caucasus" published by the "Caucasian Knot".
