Mikail Miziyev, 18, and Akhmed Imagozhev, 22, launched the attack at a police checkpoint in Magan, Russia. One police officer was knocked down and the other was stabbed.
This is the chilling moment two alleged Islamic terrorists killed two police officers during a frenzied attack in Russia.
Mikail Miziyev, 18, and Akhmed Imagozhev, 22, launched the attack at a police checkpoint in Magan, Russia, just before midnight on New year's Eve. The town was immediately put into lockdown and a fireworks display and concert were cancelled due to the attack. The suspected terrorists struck one officer, dad-of-four Zelemkhan Kokorkhoev, 34, with a car and then knifed him to death. They then attacked his colleague, Zurab Daurbekov, who was stabbed and later died in hospital.
CCTV shows the moment the men speed towards Mr Kokorkhoev before hitting him as he stands on the pavement. The men then jump out of the car and tun towards a patrol car where they proceed to pull Mr Daurbekov out of the vehicle. He is then stabbed on the pavement as more officers arrive and shoot at the attackers. Miziyev is shot dead while his co-conspirator Imagozhev was also shot but remains in hospital.
Before the attack, the pair had posted a sinister picture showing them carrying knives with the message "Love and hatred based on Tawhid!”, referring to the central concept of the Islamic faith. Imagozhev is known as a local arm-wrestling champion. The New Year festivities were immediately cancelled in Magas, capital of the Ingushetia region of Russia, amid a heavy police and security presence on the streets.
