BISHKEK, May 12 (RIA Novosti) - Kyrgyz troops have eliminated a militant group thought to have killed at least six people in a spree that led them into the Central Asian republic from neighboring Tajikistan early Friday, the Kyrgyz frontier service said.
Four militants were killed and one wounded, the service said adding that one border guard had been killed and two wounded.
Kyrgyz border guards said earlier that a group of six gunmen had attacked the Lyakkan border post in Tajikistan's northern Isfarin district, killing two border guards, injuring a customs officer, and seizing 19 automatic rifles, a machinegun and cartridges. The group was then reported to have entered Kyrgyzstan.
