Russia's Federal Security Service have arrested a militant leader who's being linked to the attempted murder of the President of Ingushetia, in Russia's south. Yunusbek Evkurov was seriously wounded when a car bomb went off while his motorcade was passing by in the city of Nazran last June. The Ingush president only regained consciousness two weeks after the attack and was hospitalized for almost two months. The arrested suspect is also believed to have organized other violence in the region, including the strike on the police headquarters in Nazran that killed 25 and wounded more than a hundred. Magas is also linked to 2001 Beslan school siege, in which at least 334 hostages were killed, including 186 children.
