Relatives of murdered resident of Ingushetia Gorbakov deny his belonging to terrorists

According to relatives of Albert Gorbakov who was killed last night, neither Albert nor his detained brothers Shamil and Kaloy had any explosives as of the moment of detention.

The statement of Ms Gorbakova is quoted by Ingushetia.ru:

"Albert Gorbakov is dead. His brothers Shamil and Kaloy were detained and taken away. They had no weapons and buckets with explosives. All the three are normal guys, very religious.

Shamil has arrived from Egypt (very silent, wearing glasses, painfully shy), he's a medrese pupil. For three years of study, he was let home for the first time. They were sitting in a car; people drove up to them and asked to get out. When they obeyed, the agents opened fire on them."

At the same time, the edition reminds that, according to the spokesman of the Interior Department of Ingushetia, during detention of the young men, a ready-to-use self-made explosive enclosed into a metal bucket was found near their car.
