Kyrgyz Tighten Border With Tajikistan after suspected IMU attack |
Kyrgyz Tighten Border With Tajikistan
30 January 2006 -- Kyrgyzstan has tightened controls at checkpoints on
the border with Tajikistan and put border outposts on high alert.
The announcement was made today by the press service of the National
Security Service's border troops.
The measures followed an armed attack against a prison in Tajikistan's
northern Sughd Province on 25 January.
The attackers killed the prison director, Bobojan Gadibaiev, and freed
a prisoner with suspected ties to the banned Islamic Movement of
Uzbekistan (IMU), a militant group that advocates the imposition of a
global caliphate.
A local prosecutor, Abdughafor Ghalandarov, said the group had been
increasingly active since an uprising in the Uzbek city of Andijon in
May 2005.
Uzbek and international authorities have labeled IMU a terrorist
organization.
KYRGYZSTAN UPS SECURITY ALONG TAJIK BORDER
Kyrgyzstan has tightened security measures at checkpoints along the
Kyrgyz-Tajik border in the wake of a violent prison break in Tajikistan
on 25 January, akipress.org reported, citing Kyrgyzstan's National
Security Service. The move follows unconfirmed reports that members of
the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IME) took part in the attack, which
killed the head of a detention center in Tajikistan, and then fled in
the direction of Kyrgyzstan after freeing a prisoner with suspected
extremist ties (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 30 January 2006). DK
