Four militants voluntarily turned themselves in on Sunday in Chechnya, spokesman for the regional headquarters of the anti-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus Maj. Gen. Ilya Shabalkin told Interfax on Monday. He said that a militant from the group of Isa Muskiyev operating in Shali and Kurchaloi districts turned himself in to the police in Koshkeldy. He also surrendered his Kalashnikov assault rifle. Two militants surrendered in Grozny. Shabalkin said that they expressed readiness to cooperate with investigators and reported facts about the crimes committed by their group. The degree of their responsibility is being established. A resident of Novy Sharoi turned himself in to the local police Sunday night. A police source told Interfax that the man said he had belonged to a militant group operating his village since spring 2004 and subordinate to Rezvan Magomadov. He surrendered a portable anti-tank grenade-launcher, a sniper rifle, a flame-thrower, a land mine, explosives and ammunition. Also two caches of arms and ammunition were uncovered in Chechnya. Both places were reported to the authorities by local residents who had discovered them. Shabalkin said the question of paying rewards in keeping with a Chechen Cabinet resolution is being settled.
