AhlulBayt News Agency - A Moscow court has issued an arrest warrant for a Tajikistan-born man suspected of recruiting fighters for the outlawed ISIS terror group, an investigation source told RIA Novosti on Sunday.
The 38-year-old caught police attention in connection to a series of deadly assaults by a Central Asian gang on car owners near the Russian capital in 2012-2014.
"The court has granted the prosecutor an arrest warrant in absentia for Tadijistan-born Farrukh Azamdzhonov, who is on the security agencies’ list of suspected recruiters for illegal armed groups, including the outlawed Daesh," the source said.
The Russian Investigative Committee’s spokesman Vladimir Markin said previously that the gang’s leader was killed, while five suspects were added to Interpol's wanted list.
