The Chief of Police in the Sunzha district of Ingushetia has been killed after leaving a mosque. Abdurahman Neyriyev was attacked on his way home after night prayers. A police manhunt is underway for those involved.
Attacks on law-enforcement officers have increased recently in Ingushetia.
On Monday, unidentified attackers killed a Russian Federal Security officer Alikhan Kalimatov.
Investigators suggest there may be a connection with his inquiry into abductions in neighboring North Ossetia.
