Russian commandos quashed a mutiny at a southern Russian prison on Friday, killing the attackers and freeing their hostages, according to the local governor.
Inmates claiming to be motivated by radical Islam and armed with makeshift knives and an explosive vest briefly took control of Penal Colony No. 19 in the southern Volgograd region, according to videos posted on social media and verified by The New York Times. The Russian prison service said four guards had been killed and three injured in the attack.
Four of the attackers were killed by snipers as the Russian commandos stormed the prison late Friday afternoon, ending the mutiny. It was unclear how many inmates had joined the revolt.

First question is always, “What’s the NYT’s [insert media outlet] angle”?
Historically, Russia tends to play pretty rough in situations of this nature.
If you are sentenced to Penal Colony 19 or any other Penal Colony for that matter, your future is grim.
The survivors may find themselves in a facility located further north and east. They’ll miss the balmy winters that the German Sixth Army enjoyed in the region.
Saw the videos and what these Islamists did.
Nasty.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Yet we expect free news media.
What we get is sociopolitical advertising pretending to be news.
Near all the media has a political bias. Objectivity and accuracy are not even a journalistic tenet.
The reader is not a paying customer for the most part. Those who pay for the advertising and who own the media have the say.
Perhaps one with a dolphin in front.
“”””Inmates claiming to be motivated by radical Islam””””
Creative writing, ‘claiming’ and I doubt the muslims used the weird phrase “radical islam” for Islam.
The only good Islamist...
I won’t finish that thought.
Putin needs to kiss more Qurans to keep this from happening again.
Yeah, handing them flowers and Hare Krishna booklets doesn’t work in prison riots over there.
Ouch…
And I say more power to them.
You have to be as ruthless in dealing with them as they are to everyone else.
Putin needs to build more mosques, too. And kiss more Qurans. Appeasing Islam works great for Putin.
Good observations.
Islamists can’t seem to get along with anybody.
