Tengiz Guketlov, a Caucasus Emirate leader in Kabardino-Balkaria, issued a statement yesterday claiming that six killings in Stavropol in January were in retaliation for the killing of 35 allegedly innocent local Muslims by security forces. He denied that the six deaths were connected to the Islamist terror group’s threat to disrupt the Olympics in Sochi. The Ingush media branch of the Caucasus Emirate issued a statement on Feb. 5 taunting visitors to the Olympics with threatened attacks.
