MOSCOW (Reuters) – From seven to eight people were wounded in a knife attack in the Russian Siberian city of Surgut, local criminal investigators said on Saturday, adding the attacker had been shot dead by police. The Islamic State group said one of its fighters had carried out the attack, though a Russian law enforcement spokeswoman would not comment on whether police regarded the incident as terrorism related. “A man was moving along the main streets stabbing people,” the local law enforcement committee in Surgut said in a statement. No-one was killed in the attack.
