5 dead in Kazakhstan 'terror' attacks on police
Five people were today gunned down in attacks on a police station and a security building in Kazakhstan's largest city Almaty with security forces arresting two men in connection with the assaults.
Kazakhstan's National Security Committee (KNB) declared its "anti-terror" operation over in the financial capital after detaining the two suspects.Three police officers and two civilians were shot dead in what President Nursultan Nazarbayev called "a terrorist act".
KNB security chief Vladimir Zhumakanov said one of the suspects may have "connected" with followers of the ultra-conservative Salafi strain of Islam while in jail on theft and weapons charges.
Suspected Islamist militant kills five in Kazakhstan
A lone gunman with Islamist links killed at least three policemen and two civilians in Kazakhstan's financial capital Almaty on Monday, senior security officials said, the second such attack in less than two months.Police detained the attacker, identified as 26-year-old Ruslan Kulikbayev, in a shootout on a busy central street after he had gone on the rampage, attacking a police station and an office belonging to the KNB security service.
Kulikbayev had been imprisoned before for robbery and illegally possessing weapons and had "became close to Salafists" in prison, KNB security service head Vladimir Zhumakanov told a Security Council meeting.Salafists adhere to an ultra-conservative form of Islam.
The shootings will stoke fears of a growing Islamist threat to the oil-producing nation of 18 million people. Last month, men the authorities said were Islamic State sympathisers attacked gun stores and a military facility, killing seven.Thousands of nationals from Central Asian nations are known to be fighting alongside Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, and the authorities have long warned they could return and carry out attacks on home soil.
Kazakhstan finally forced to confront the threat of radical Islam
After series of arrests in the winter followed by additional attacks and plots this spring and summer, Kazakh authorities can no longer deny that Islamic terrorism is a problem in the country.
June attacks: On June 6, radicals linked to the February detainees attacked two gun stores and a military unit in the city of Aktobe in one of the most notable and brazen attacks in Kazakhstan in recent years. According to investigators, the perpetrators had planned to seize arms and continue their attack in the city. However, as a result of a gunfight at the military unit’s headquarters, 12 of the attackers were killed and nine were detained. An unknown number of others remain at large. The events in Aktobe were recognized as a terrorist attack by the Ministry of Interior.

But we know Islam is a Religion of Peace, Love,Brotherhood,Equality,Forgiveness and what not.
