DUSHANBE. Sept 11 (Interfax) - The Tajik Interior Ministry has announced that an operation against a group led by rebellious Gen. Abduhalim Nazarzoda, who had earlier served as deputy defense minister of Tajikistan, is continuing.

"Joint operations conducted by the country's security forces in the Ramit Gorge in the Vakhdat district to eliminate Abduhalim Nazarzoda's terrorist group are continuing," the Interior Ministry and the National Security Committee said in a joint statement.

The document says nothing about the fate of Nazarzoda himself. It was unofficially reported earlier that Nazarzoda had been killed in the special operation.
