So, already there are the results of the work, during the operation one person was wounded and three suspects were detained in the Pankisi Gorge with a predominantly Chechen population.

The detainees are suspected of having links with Igil.

It is noted that at 4 o'clock in the morning about 60 members of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs simultaneously surrounded several houses, then went inside and began to search.

Tamerlan Machalikashvili, a fighter who tried to resist, was wounded.

For example, terrorism expert Nino Burchuladze said that the detainees are suspected of assisting the field commander IGIL Ahmed Chatayev, who was killed during a recent special operation in Tbilisi.

According to her information, "help" was expressed in the fact that the suspects supplied the Chatayev group with a large quantity of weapons and ammunition - sufficient for conducting a long battle in the Georgian capital.

As previously reported in URA-Inform, the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, believes that the final victory on the "Islamic state" is still far from reality.
