A group of notorious jihadists of Islamic State (ISIS) took control of a prison in Russia – thus slitting throats of guards and teasing President Vladimir Putin prior to gruesome siege that ended in bloodshed when inmate ‘fails to blow himself up’ and is ‘liquidated’ by special forces along with three others.
Report published in The Daily Mail stated, ISIS jihadists who took control of a prison in Volgograd, slashed a guard’s throat and forcing maimed hostages to beg Putin for help, have now been ‘liquidated’ by snipers, according to security forces.
Video footages show, knife-wielding prisoners belonging to ISIS at the ‘harsh regime’ IK-19 penal colony in Volgograd saying they were ‘mujahideen’ of Islamic State seeking revenge for their ‘brothers’ who carried out the Crocus City Hall massacre on May 22 this year. During this gruesome massacre at Crocus City Hall, a music venue in Krasnogorsk, Moscow region, a total of 145 people died in a shootout.
One of the four ISIS inmates named Rustamchon Navruzi, 23, a native of Tajikistan, is said to have strapped himself with explosives the prisoners made in the jail workshop using petrol and industrial liquids.
These jihadists posted cruel videos that show uniformed prison officials lying on the floor bleeding. A wounded prison officer – his face covered in blood – was seen in another video being forced to beg Vladimir Putin to intervene inside the Surovikino prison compound.
The hostage-takers reportedly demanded a helicopter, £1.5 million in cash and an air corridor to the southeast in order to leave the country, and threatened to kill the hostages if their demands were not met.
But the siege came to a dramatic end as Russia’s special forces moved in with Navruzi trying and failing to detonate his suicide vest – before being ‘liquidated’ along with his three fellow attackers.
In the Kremlin, a pale-looking Putin was seen discussing the crisis with officials.
In their bloodthirsty videos, the perpetrators described themselves as ‘Mujahideen of the Islamic State’, and at least one spoke Arabic, as they said they had seized control of the penal colony they were held at.
Mash news outlet said it is believed the four hostage takers had become radicalized inside the jail.
Russia state media said at least one member of the prison staff is believed to have been killed while footage shows at least four uniformed prison officials lying or sitting in pools of blood. Three guards of the guards were lying motionless and one appeared to have had his throat cut.
The prisoner who was heard begging for Putin to intervene appeared to have been forced to do so by the hostage-takers.
A knifeman could be heard dictating to the officer what to say to Putin.
“Appeal to Putin, appeal to the president”, he says to the prisoner.
“I appeal to the President of the Russian Federation….”, the voice of the captor says: “Louder…”, as the prisoner replies: “I appeal to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to fulfill the demand. I need a doctor”.
The ISIS hostage-taker says: “You see, your own people have left you, they’re not helping you. We’ve been demanding for half an hour that they call a doctor. They ran away and left you behind. Here are your friends, here are your colleagues”.
A separate video shows a rattled Putin, 71, start a security council meeting by seeking to show he is in charge of the latest crisis to hit him amid the war with Ukraine.
“The Head of the Federal Penitentiary Service has reported to me on the situation in one of the prisons in the Volgograd region”, he said.
“I want to hear from the Minister of the Interior and the Director of the Federal Security Service [FSB]”.
The hostage-takers later said in footage shared on social media: “We are doing all this for the sake of Allah, for the sake of establishing Sharia, for the sake of the Muslim brothers who are sitting in Syria.
“We are for those brothers to whom they did this when all this happened in Crocus. This is revenge for all the Muslim brothers”.
