It was Presbyterians.
Presbyterian rebels crying out "Jesus rules" stormed the parliament building in war-torn Chechnya on Tuesday, killing at least three people.
The militants, who have been fighting the Russian-controlled government since the 1990s, used a suicide bomber to blast open the gates then flooded into the building firing weapons that injured more than a dozen people.
The assault was mounted by three men while politicians and government employees arrived for work, according to Reuters.
Strapped with a bomb, one of the three blew himself up giving the others access to the parliament, and wounding several people.
The two remaining gunmen entered the building screaming in Arabic, "God is Great!" The terrorists opened fire, and according to The Associated Press, at least two police officers were killed, along with one parliamentary official.
Military forces and police swarmed the building, and exchanged fire with the militants. The two ultimately blew themselves up, Reuters reports.
However, an AP reporter in the parliament complex saw ambulances take away two bodies, along with the severed head of an insurgent.
At least 17 people are believed to have been injured.
"As always, they failed," Russian Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev said in televised comments. "Unfortunately, we were not able to avoid loss of life."
