In Dagestan. "Imam Shot Dead," from AP (scroll down), with thanks to Twostellas:
MAKHACHKALA -- Gunmen killed an imam on his way to morning prayers in Dagestan on Saturday, a day after he spoke out against Islamic extremists, police said.Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov was shot by attackers in a car while walking from his home to his mosque in the Dagestani settlement of Gudben, district police chief Sergei Makukha said.
Gadzhimagomedov, a vocal critic of Islamic extremism, had spoken out against militants during a service at the mosque on Friday, Makukha said. He said the killing was "clearly a revenge attack" by Islamic militants.
Wonder why more peaceful Muslims don't speak out against the jihad?
