Shocking moment Islamist terror cell blow themselves up after being surrounded by special forces

An Islamist terrorist cell have blown themselves up after being surrounded by special forces.

The gang of Muslim radicals were being hunted by the secret services in connection with the attempted murder of police officers.

Cops tracked the four extremists to a house in the village of Psedach in south western Russia's Republic of Ingushetia.

Federal Security Service operatives ordered them to surrender and give themselves up.

But rather than be captured the extremists began shooting at the officers, who returned fire.

Specialist troops fired rifles, machine guns and mortars at the property.

Realising the game was up the militants then decided to blow themselves up rather than be captured.

A video shows how the huge explosion from their suicide bombs ripped the roof off the little cottage.

No one else was injured in the blast, which was captured in footage taken by Russian national anti-terrorism committee.
