Eight residents of Dagestan, who were declared killed in a special operation conducted in Chechnya in 2016, were found guilty of an attempt on law enforcers, the Supreme Court (SC) of Chechnya ruled out. Relatives of the deceased Dagestani residents intend to appeal against the decision of the Chechen SC.

The law enforcement bodies claim that the above mentioned people were plotting a terror act and were killed in a shootout.

According to the law enforcement bodies, on October 9, 2016, in the Gudermes District of Chechnya, policemen tried to stop two cars. Passengers of the cars opened fire. Eight suspected militants were killed and four policemen were wounded in a shootout, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) reported.
