Russia has offered to guard sites in Syria where chemical weapons will be destroyed, but will not allow Syria’s chemical weapons to be transferred to Russia for disposal. Security forces in Dagestan last week killed five alleged militants, including a woman, in a shootout at a house in Derbent; and also killed Kadar insurgency leader Tagir Sulebanov, as well as his father and an associate, in Makhachkala. Daghestan Supreme Court Judge Mukhtar Shapiyev and his son were fatally shot in Makhachkala on Sept. 25.
