Last week of June was stressed for the law machinery of Kyrgyzstan. Our special force neutralized two armed criminal group and lost one force officer.

On 23rd , June the armed group of militants was destroyed in southern Jalal-Abad town.

On 27th, June 3 militants were killed in Kosh-Korgon village, Uzgen region. According to the preliminary information, they belonged to the Islamic movement of Uzbekistan. Within 2 days, the Kyrgyz Special Forces killed one more militant when he started shooting and tossed a grenade.

On 30, June three supposed members of the armed group, which was destroyed in Kosh-Korgon village were arrested in Bishkek.

As the press-center of the State Committee of the national security of Kyrgyzstan said [ru], one of the arrested was learnt in the Pakistan’s terrorist’s centers. He arrived in Kyrgyzstan to prepare the conditions for the living and legalization of the other members of the international terrorist organizations.

Other two arrested persons are Kyrgyzstanis. One of them was responsible for the convey of the terrorists, other made forged Kyrgyz passports for the members of the international terrorist and extremist organizations.

The experts are sure that the appearance of the militants in Kyrgyzstan isn’t an accidental circumstance.

The analyst and expert of the Independent research center of the religion, law and politic Kadyr Malikov suggested that the militants of the IMU would appear in Kyrgyzstan gradually and there would be more such armed conflicts in future.

Such armed conflict must happen sooner or later. We had the information from the Tajic and Afgan experts that the IMU would move to other country gradually because of the anti-terrorist operations. We suggested that IMU would appear in the Central Asia. I can assume that Kyrgyz security force tracked down this group and neutralized it in Jalalabad, Kadyr Malikov told [ru] in BPC interview.

Expert about national security questions Leonid Bondares approved the work of the Special Forces but told that the appearance of the militants in the south of Kyrgyzstan wasn’t accidental.

Our special forces worked well. They detected and destroyed this armed group in proper time. But the gunbattle in Jalal-Abad makes me think that the militants appeared not randomly. Why the IMU members are fighting in Kyrgyzstan, while their main goal is the overthrow the government in Uzbekistan? Leonid Bondarec said [ru] in BPC interview.

The question of the terrorism also disturb the Internet users.

Terrorism is a double problem. One problem is to prevent. Other is to neutralize. While the government doesn’t make any preventive measures, our special forces have to shed blood. At the same time we can’t confront the aliens ideas of the terrorist because the ideas are spreading not by only who has nothing to lose, but the usual people, Diesel Forum user Atai told [ru].
