"Gangsters and terrorists very well trained, organized and commanded by the special centre. Some of them were speaking non-Kazakh languages. There were at least six waves of attacks of terrorists at Almaty, total amount of them 20 thousand," he continued.
Russian media Sputnik news agency reported on Saturday that up to 4,000 terrorists were arrested in Kazakhstan over the recent days.
