A Dagestan-based militant leader who swore allegiance to the so-called Islamic State (IS, ISIS\/ISIL), was picked as \u201cemir\u201d by IS chief al-Baghdadi and was linked to terrorist acts in Russia\u2019s Vol-Go-grad, has been eliminated, the Federal Security Service (FSB) said.<\/p>\n
The terrorist cell was neutralized near the southern Russian city of Makhachkala, the capital of the Republic of Dagestan.<\/p>\n
Aselderov and four other militants were found hiding out in a house in the village. After the hideout was surrounded, the police started negotiations and asked the militants to surrender.<\/p>\n
\u00a0In response, the terrorists fired automatic weapons and were killed by return fire. None of the officers taking part in the operation were injured.<\/p>\n
The FSB said Aselderov was one of the organizers of the terrorist attack on Volgograd\u2019s train station on December 29, 2013, which killed 18 people and left dozens injured after a suicide bomber blew herself up at the station\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n
