At a September 25 meeting in Mozdok of senior Russian officials, including presidential envoy to the Southern Federal District Dmitry Kozak, Deputy Prosecutor-General Ivan Sydoruk and Deputy Interior Minister Colonel General Arkady Yedelev, with Ingushetian President Murat Zyazikov, pro-Moscow Chechen administration head Alu Alkhanov and Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov, it was decided that the Ingushetian authorities should not create any obstacles to the conduct by Chechen and North Ossetian law-enforcement agencies of special operations to apprehend suspected militants on the territory of Ingushetia. Militants in Ingushetia have targeted dozens of local police and government officials in recent months. The Ingushetian representatives present at the Mozdok talks reportedly did not raise any objections to that ruling, but the independent website ingushetiya.ru on September 26 quoted an unidentified Ingushetian Interior Ministry official as warning that \"we shall not allow bandits in uniform from either Chechnya or [North] Ossetia to rampage freely, whatever decisions they may reach in Mozdok.\" That official added that \"we shall destroy on the spot\" any members of those republics\' law-enforcement agencies who try to seize or shoot people on Ingushetian territory without first coordinating their activities with Ingushetia\'s Interior Ministry. Eight people died on September 13 in a shoot-out between Ingushetian traffic police and a Chechen special detachment subordinate to Kadyrov that tried to arrest an Ingush suspect and take him to Chechnya for questioning.
