One of the most notorious but dead terrorists in four years

The Russian Federal Security Service has confirmed the discovery of the remains of the notorious terrorist Docu Umarov, who has organized several deadly attacks on civilian targets and was killed in 2013.

“As a result of long-term operational research activities, the Federal Security Service has discovered the burial site of the leader of the North Caucasus criminal gang, Doku UMarov and four members of its gang in the mountain area of the forest in the Ingushetia region “, The FSB said in a statement Wednesday.

UMarov and his associates “were eliminated during the special security forces operation in September 2013”, the statement added.

President Chechen Ramzan Cadyrov welcomed the discovery of Umarov's remains.

The elimination of Doku UMarov became the key moment in the fight against terrorism in the North Caucasus. I'm sure that international terrorism will never raise its head in our republic or in our” region, wrote Cadyrov.

Umarov led the militant group of Caucasus Emirates, which co-operated closely with the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda.

He was on the requested list of Russia, the US and the UN Security Council for organising numerous terrorist acts, kidnapping, murder and other serious crimes in Russia.

The Chechen terrorist took part in a terrorist attack in the Russian Republic of Inguschetia in 1999, when militants managed to capture over a dozen villagers.

Umarov claimed responsibility for several acts of terrorism in Russia, including attacks on the Nevski Express passenger train, Moscow Metro and Domodedovo Airport.

An explosion on the high-speed train of Nevski Express, which travelled between Moscow and St Petersburg, lost 27 people and injured 100 others, the event that took place November 27th 2009.

Forty people died and about a hundred were injured after two suicide bombings were disfigured during peak hours at Lubjanka and Park Kultury subway stations in Moscow on March 29, 2010.

In another suicide attack, UMarov claimed responsibility for the attack at Domodedovo International Airport on 24 January 2011, killing 37 people and injuring 173 others.
