DUSHANBE, May 15, Asia-Plus – The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) officers on May 13 conducted a special operation in Khasavyurt (Dagestan republic) in which they detained active gunman Radzhab Kurbanaliyevich Pirov, born in 1983.
The gunman comes from Kulob town, Tajikistan and is known under the nickname Radzhab among bandits. Russian FSB forces sustained no losses in the operation.
According to FSB sources, Radzhab had arrived in Chechnya when he was a teenager together with his father that was close to Khattab. After Russian federal troops liquidated his father, Radzhab was acting during several years with a bandit group of foreign mercenaries under the command of Khattab, Abu Al-Walid, Abu Havs and now neutralized Khairulla.
Staying in Dagestan during the past two years, Radzhab has been a significant figure of the local bandit underground.
Radzhab enjoyed great authority and full confidence among gunmen. His father-in-law who was born and lived in Dagestan took part in a hostage-taking raid on Moscow’s Dubrovka Theatre in October 2002.
The detained gunman is involved in dozens of crimes of terrorist nature.
