A court in the Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan has sentenced a man to death for killing 10 people in an Islamic extremist attack in the country’s largest city earlier this year.
The court in Almaty on Wednesday found that 27-year-old Ruslan Kulekbayev was driven by “religious conviction” in the July shooting attack on a local police station that killed eight police officers and two civilians. Kulekbayev, who pleaded guilty to a terrorist attack and multiple homicides, said he was avenging his “Muslim brothers.”
Five other people who supplied Kulekbayev with arms received prison sentences from three to 10 years.
Kazakhstan issued a moratorium on capital punishment in 2003, but courts are still allowed to hand it down as a sentence.

He said he was avenging his “Muslim brothers. Don’t you think the Police should use the same treatment on him to avenge their brothers? I do.
Yes
All the terrorists in this country need to be shot. They don’the need jail or prison time. That’s too much of a easy life for them after all the killing they do.
Maybe Obama and the Clintons need some time in prison. As much bad stuff is going on in this country because of them, I can see why all stupid and morons think they’re the great. That’s the only name they can say. They don’t have the sense to realize that the u.s. is becoming a bad place to live because of them.
So true
I agree
ISIS seemed to enjoy webcasting their execution videos. Maybe Kazakhstan will show this terrorist being executed. I’m going to guess his death will be less gruesome than what ISIS carries out. I’ve got news for this terrorist. Where he is going is eternally hot and he will probably find he doesn’t have 72 whores waiting for his arrival.
