31 mai 2012 - 12 Kazakhstan Border Guards In Have Been Found Dead Near The Chinese Frontier

Description:

Initial reports that the frontier guards’ weapons were missing were not true, a Border Service source told the Kazinform state news agency. The source said the weapons had been found and sent for tests to see if they had been fired.

The border post is located in Usharal district near the popular Lake Alakol resort. Officials have not specified its precise location, but the post is believed to be some kilometers from the tightly controlled international frontier with China.

The nearest crossing between the two countries is at Dostyk, a major road and rail post through which trains between Almaty, Kazakhstan’s commercial capital, and Urumqi, capital of China’s Xinjiang province, pass.

local reports suggested an attack on the border detachment (though the possible motive is unclear) or hazing -- it is common in post-Soviet military units for senior soldiers to ritually harass and bully their juniors.
