Tajik police say the hit-and-run incident may be connected to terrorism AlamyFour cyclists — two Americans, a Swiss and a Dutch citizen — have been killed in an apparent hit-and-run followed by a knife attack in Tajikistan, with police saying terrorism is among the possible motives. Three more cyclists — from Switzerland, the Netherlands and France — were injured in the incident involving a Daewoo Leganza. “We are looking into all versions — accident, robbery . including a terrorist act,” Ramazon Rakhimzoda, the interior minister, told a briefing. “The driver and passengers of a car that hit the foreign tourists got out of the car and attacked [the cyclists] with a firearm and a knife,” he added, according to Radio Free Europe’s Tajik Service.
