Here are two Islamic terrorists that killed police officers including an arm-wrestling champion
Two police officers have been killed after two Islamic terrorists launched a New Year’s Eve attack in Russia.
Mikail Miziyev, 18, and Akhmed Imagozhev, 22, attacked a police checkpoint in Magan, near the border with Georgia, shortly before the clocks struck midnight.
Zelemkhan Kokorkhoev, 34, a married father of four, died after being run over by a Lada Granta driven by the two men and then stabbed.
His partner, officer Zurab Daurbekov, was then attacked and stabbed to death.
The men can then be seen jumping out of their car and running towards a nearby police patrol car where Daurbekov is sitting.
The officer is pulled out of his vehicle and then stabbed to death as he lies on the pavement nearby.
In the meantime, more officers arrive before opening fire on the terrorists, shooting Miziyev dead.
Imagozhev, a Russian arm wrestling champion, was also shot in the confrontation but was not killed and is now in hospital.
An image of the pair posing with knives was then uncovered on social media.
A message reading ‘love and hatred based on Tawhid!’ – referring to the central concept of the Islamic faith – was written underneath.
New Year festivities were immediately cancelled in Magas, capital of the Ingushetia region of Russia, amid a heavy police and security presence on the streets.
A concert and fireworks due to take place at midnight were called off.
