ROSTOV-ON-DON, September 5 (RIA Novosti) - A militant killed in Ingushetia in a special operation Friday was a bandit warlord and was involved in an attempt to kill the Russian North Caucasus republic's president, security agencies said.
A spokesman for the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in the Russian North Caucasus republic said three militants were killed yesterday, and one of them, Rustam Dzortov, born in 1979, had been on a wanted list in Russia.
"He from January 2009 led the activity of all gangs on the republic's territory... and, according to testimony by earlier detained Makhauri, was one of those who organized the attempt on the life of Ingush President Yunus-bek Yevkurov," he said.
Yevkurov underwent a series of operations in Moscow after sustaining head and internal injuries when a car bomb exploded as his motorcade passed on June 22. The region has seen a surge in militant violence in recent months.
Attacks on troops, police and other officials have been reported almost daily in Ingushetia and Russia's other North Caucasus republics in recent months. On August 17, Ingushetia was rocked by a suicide bombing which killed at least 24 police officers and injured 136.

MAKHACHKALA, September 19 (RIA Novosti) - Russian police and Federal Security Service officers have killed three militants in Dagestan's Kizlyar District, a spokesman said Saturday.
"The officers tried to stop a Niva Chevrolet, but three people inside the car opened fire, and were killed by return fire," the spokesman said.
He added that one of the three has been identified as a militant leader, and that police officers discovered an arms cache in the car.
An investigation is underway.
The Russian North Caucasus republics of Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia have seen an upsurge of militant violence of late, with frequent attacks on police.
The Kremlin officially ended its anti-terrorism operation in Chechnya in April. The republic saw two brutal separatist wars in the 1990s and early 2000s.
