New Delhi, October 30

The Russian authorities said they had taken over an airport in the predominantly Muslim Dagestan region and arrested 60 persons after hundreds of anti-Israeli protesters stormed the premises in search of Jewish passengers from a plane from Israel.

Officials said 20 people in the airport were wounded before the security forces contained the unrest on Sunday.

Moscow has accused Ukraine of staging the “provocation”. Kyiv said it had nothing to do with the unrest. Several videos from the airport at Makhachkala, the regional capital of Dagestan, showed the rioters, mostly young men, waving Palestinian flags, breaking down glass doors and running through the airport shouting “Allahu Akbar”.

The mob converged after a message on social media urged Dagestanis to meet the “uninvited guests”. /Agencies

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
