As assumed by the editorial staff of Kavkaz Center, Moscow decided to increase the number of "killed" Mujahideen in order to decrease the number of killed innocent civilians. As Interior Minister of the RF Nurgaliyev asserts, 72 Mujahideen were allegedly killed and more than 30 were captured during the fighting in Nalchik.The number of killed innocent civilians in these events was declared not to be more than 12 people. Their own losses were estimated to be 24 people by Nurgaliyev.Thus happened what had been predicted. Let us recall that the occupiers in the morning still reported that 12-24 civilians and 60 Mujahideen had been killed. Now the number of killed citizens was reduced by 12 and the number of "killed" Mujahideen increased respectively.At the same time, according to the command of the Caucasian Front, at least 80 citizens were killed during the fighting in Nalchik. It is now obvious that Moscow used the same tactics as it has used in Chechnya for many years. The innocent civilians killed in Nalchik are recorded as "fighters".Kavkaz Center News
