In the course of interrogation of the terrorist that was seized by the spetsnaz became known some names of several fighters, who participated in the seizure of school in Beslan reports on Monday Gzt.Ru.
At least four of them are the natives of settlement Staryi Engenot of Nozhay-Yurto district of Chechnya. Among them - just one who is alive, 24-yrs oldr of Nur- Pashi Kulayev. Previously the correspondents of the independent portal Ingushetiya.Ru identified him as Kulov.
In this group of fighters was also older brother of Kulayev, 31 yrs old Khan-Pashi, killed on 3 September. Two more terrorists, the residents of Staryi Engenoy, are identified as Arsen Merzhoyev and Mayrbek Shibikhanov.
According tothis article, the Kulayevs used to be in pernal guard of well-known leader of the Chechen fighters Shamil Basayev. Furthermore, the Kulayevs were tightly linked with that arrested last year Rustam Ganiyev, who was preparing smertnitsas for their participation in the acts of terror on the territory of Russia. Two sisters of Ganiyev were destroyed in the theatrical center Nord-Ost at Dubrovka.
Let us recall also that one of the first liquidated terrorists that was identified, was a soldier of Ruslan Gelaev's unit, Anatoliy Khodov nicknamed Abdulla, who was tied to a criminal case about the explosion on 3 February, 2004 in Vladikavkaz. Furthermore, he was one of the figures of criminal case for explosionon on the train No 32 - Moskva-Vladikavkaz, committed on the 15th of May of 2004.
At the same time the newspaper refuted this information about destruction Magomed Yevloyev, who is considered the leader of bandits. Yevloyev's body so far hasn't been found.
According to spme data of Vremya Novosti newspaper among the killed fighters someone is also identified certain Magomed Aushev and certain Umarov. However, this is not the well-known field commander Dokku Umarov, who, according to one theory of special services, organized the attack on the school in Beslan.
According to the sources in siloviki structures of North Ossetia, body of seven fighters are not identifiable. In their number the one smertnitsa, who had blown herself up with her shakhid belt..
Before I went to bed earlier I was watching, coincidentally, the interview with Dokku Umarov on kavkaz. link I can only follow the Russian piecemeal, so if anyone wants to help out by listening/watching and letting me know if there is anthing significant, please do.
With a story that says, among other things -
"Chechen militants are preparing new daring operations in the North Caucasus", dated August, 2004.
"At the same time, it has been no secret for quite a while that the Chechen Command does have the plans of transferring war operations on the enemy soil."
"War operations in Russia or in any region in the Caucasus may break out unexpectedly, and each person in the North Caucasus and in Russia should take good note of it that he/she is living in a combat zone. The time of serenity is over. When leaving home, everyone should expect to come back to the ruins at best, or at worst, to have to pick up burned remains of his/her family members"
Just wondering if anyone thinks this looks anything like the school in Beslan which supposedly underwent construction this last summer?
