Uzbeks in Wild Battle with Islamozoids
Uzbek police stormed a hideout of Islamic terrorists today, resulting in a shootout and Grand Guignol finale with Islamozoids blowing up all over the place: Uzbek Police Storm Militant Hideout; Up to 23 Dead.
One woman evading capture blew herself up, witnesses said. Her severed head went flying over a wall. The battle erupted in Yalangach, two miles from one of President Islam Karimov’s residences, a day after explosions killed 19 people in the Central Asian state. Authorities said Islamic militants triggered those blasts.
When Tuesday’s firefight had ended, five corpses clad in black and identified by police as “terrorists” lay outside, each with bullet wounds. An Interior Ministry statement read on television said 20 militants had killed themselves.
“In the process of being detained, 20 terrorists blew themselves up. Along with this, three policemen died and five sustained wounds of various seriousness,” the statement said.
