Kazakh prosecutors acknowledge terrorist attack in the city of Taraz

Following shootings and explosions in the city of Taraz in South Kazakhstan, a criminal case was opened on two counts — murder and the commission of terrorist acts. According to ‘Interfax’, Deputy Attorney General of the Republic Nurmuhanbet Isayev made this statement on November 12th. The official stressed that the city had only suffered a single explosion, and not four as reported by some media sources. He also denied reports that there is a curfew in Taraz.

According to prosecutors, on Saturday morning, 34-year-old M. K. Kariyev  (previously identified as Kaliyev), a follower of jihadist ideas, robbed a Taraz resident and stole his car. After this, he robbed a gun shop in the city. After killing a guard and fatally wounding a customer, Kariyev stole two ‘Saiga’ hunting carbines and ammunition, and fled.

On Friday, November 4th, it seemed as if the city of Karaganda was paralyzed. Life looked as if it had come to a halt: cafes and restaurants were deserted, and there was almost no one out in the streets, while parents came and took their children home from school and kindergarten. People were afraid to ride the buses, and it was impossible to catch a taxi. But the main thing – there was information, by word of mouth, regarding alleged acts of terrorism, murders, and hostage taking… It was the first time ever that the coal-mining capital of Kazakhstan had ever been enveloped in such a wave of panic.

It all began last Monday, when two powerful explosions thundered in the city of Atyrau. At 8:45 am local time, a powerful explosion occurred in a garbage bin near the regional akimat. A few moments later, an unidentified man blew himself up in vacant lot near an apartment building. It has now been determined that he was 24-year-old Baurzhan Sultangaliyev. The bomb, as a matter of fact, exploded by accident, and the Islamic organization ‘Caliphate of al-Juanda’ claimed responsibility for the bombings.
