Russian frontier guards confirm elimination of 24 Chechen terrorists from Georgia

Russian frontier guards have confirmed that they liquidated 24 Chechen terrorists who broke into Chechnya from the territory of Georgia about two weeks ago. The press-service of the North-Caucasian regional department of the Federal Frontier Service of Russia reports that the corpse of another militant was discovered by the Itum-Kale frontier unit search and reconnaissance group on Wednesday, August 7.

A sniper's rifle, but no documents were found on the killed militant.

The Itum-Kale frontier unit which guards the Chechen section of the Russian-Georgian border, is in the place where the recent clash took place that routed Khasan's gang of terrorists. During the fighting three bandits were taken prisoner; part of the gang managed to go back to Georgia, where international terrorists have their bases.

In the same area and in adjacent sections of the Russian-Georgian border all kinds of reconnaissance work, including from air reconnaissance, is conducted and ambushes are laid in places where bandit groups may possibly be moving, particularly at night.
