Russia: Terror Attacks on Dagestan's Churches, Synagogues Kill At Least 20 | Firstpost America
At least 20 people including policemen, civilians and an Orthodox priest were killed by armed militants in Russia's southern republic of Dagestan. The gunmen opened fire on two Orthodox churches, a synagogue and a police post in two cities on Sunday. Russia's National Anti-Terrorist Committee described the attacks in the predominantly Muslim region with a history of armed militancy as terrorist acts. Six bandits were liquidated, the governor said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks. June 24-26 have been declared days of mourning in the region, with flags lowered to half-staff and all entertainment events cancelled.
