Atyrau. September 19. Kazakhstan Today - The attacks on police in Atyrau, which occurred on the night of September 15, were committed by a group of people in two cars.

The day before, late at night, a law enforcement official said that it was a well-planned operation by terrorists, which involved up to 8 people - by 4 passengers in each car, the newspaper "Ak Zhaiyk" writes.

According to the publication, the first attack on a police patrol car was committed on the square named after Isatai - Makhambet, right next to the house with a huge television monitor on the facade. There was a white Nexia, in which there were 4 people. Two of them got out of the car and look out for more convenient way to attack the police patrol. The car and these people were captured by a camcorder of the bank located there.

Shelling flying squad lasted just over a minute. In the car there were a sergeant with an intern, who fled at the beginning of the shooting. The sergeant was wounded in the leg, but he continued to fire back. Soon reinforcement force came from the police department, but the attackers rushed to leave. The police chased the car towards TB hospital on the Black River.

Meanwhile, another car has parked at the main entrance to the Police Department, out of which four armed men came. They started throwing bombs in the direction of the entrance and shoot at fleeing police with cries "Allah Akbar!" and "All cops must be killed!", the newspaper writes.

The author notes that criminals freely entered the building. Then threw one explosive device towards the duty unit, and another one was thrown on the staircase leading to the upper floors. Then they went to the opposite door leading to the back yard, and threw another bomb at the parade ground. Then several unexploded homemade bombs in plastic bags were found inside of the building.

There is evidence that the attackers had Kalashnikovs, which they used for sustained fire. It caused destruction of the ground floor. That night, the police department had two gunmen on duty. Internal investigation on the cause of their inaction is under way. The attackers managed to escape in their parked car in front of the police station before the arrival of the police car, which stopped the pursuit of Nexia and promptly returned when they heard that another group of terrorists attacked their headquarters, the paper concludes.

As previously reported, a criminal case was initiated on the attack on police in Atyrau.
