Police officers detain a man after an attack in the centre of Almaty, Kazakhstan, July 18, 2016. A gunman who killed three policemen and a member of the public in Kazakhstan on Monday may have been an Islamist militant, the president Nursultan Nazarbayev has said. Suspect Ruslan Kulikbayev, 26, became close to Salafists – ultra-conservative Muslims – when serving a prison sentence, security officials said. He was the only person detained after the attack. The interior ministry initially said an accomplice was still at large but officials have since said they believe the shootings were the work of just one person. A Reuters news agency report suggests the death toll may be as high as six. (Photo by Shamil Zhumatov/Reuters)
