The imam was questioned for the reason that the security services found his book with his phone number among the personal belongings of the gang members killed during May 12 raid on the Kyrgyz border. Kamalov was released after 24 hours. He said that the authorities thought that there are militants hiding in his house. SNB officers searched the house but did not find anything.
To remind, Karasu is considered one of the main centers of activity of the radical Islamic organization "Hizb ut-Tahrir" and other extremist groups. The mosque where Kamalov is preaching is considered local breading-ground for the ideas of Islamic fundamentalism
