One of the detainees from Magomed Vagapov's gang under Basayev, is being held on a number of crimes and is ready to cooperate with investigators. The 23-year old militant has disclosed whereabouts of a gang cache of two Kalashnikov assault-rifles and a big amount of ammunition, the service said.
The service reported that active member of illegal armed formations Shamsutdin Yunusov, a member of Ayub Salimkhanov's gang, was killed in a recent special operation in the Urus-Martan district.
"An AKS-74 assault rifle and a self-made grenade were confiscated at the combat site. Law-enforcement officials have information that Yunusov took part in the bandit raid in Ingushetia in June 2004," a service spokesperson said.
In a special operation in the Shali district, a member of Akhmed Yunusov's gang, also linked to Basayev, was captured with an assault rilfe and a full magazine.
A militant from Dzhambulat Khatuyev's gang, with ties to Umarov, was arrested in Achkhoi-Martan, in connection with a local armed raid. He was previously wanted for "banditry."
The detainees are being kept in pre-trial detention centers, while their crimes are being investigated.
