Suspected Militants Kill Six In Kazakh Attacks

Kazakh authorities say suspected Islamist militants killed six people at a military facility and two gun stores in the northwestern city of Aqtobe, prompting security forces to launch a "counterterrorism operation."

In attacks carried out almost simultaneously, the assailants killed a guard and a clerk at one of the gun stores and wounded three policemen who arrived at the scene, the Interior Ministry said.

At another firearms store, they killed a visitor before security officers arrived and killed three assailants, the ministry said.

Another group of attackers stole a bus and rammed it into the gate at a national guard base, where they shot three servicemen dead before security officers killed one of the attackers, the ministry added.
