More news on Kavkaz.....

These are so funny

Check out the titles and then look at the sources.

But look at this one, especially.
from AP?

" The site is regarded as a clearinghouse for pro-Chechen information and a mouthpiece for Chechen rebel leaders. It is based on a server in the apartment of renowned Soviet-era dissident and political prisoner Viktoras Petkus. Petkus today accused Brazauskas of bowing to political pressure. "

Who is Viktoras Petkus?

PROOF PROVIDED BY RUSSIA, BRITISH AUTHORITIES WILL TAKE MEASURES AGAINST ZAKAYEV AND BEREZOVSKY

LONDON, September 17 (RIA Novosti's Alexander Smotrov) -

British authorities will take immediate measures against terrorists, if they get the appropriate proof, the Foreign Office press service officials told RIA Novosti, while commenting on the communication made yesterday to British temporary charge d'affaires to Russia Stephen Wordsworth.

The communication was made "due to renewed anti-Russian activities of the 'new political immigrants' in London: Ahmed Zakayev, Boris Berezovsky and others in the wake of the Beslan tragedy".

"In his July written statement for the Parliament, the British Foreign Secretary explained why the British Cabinet had granted asylum to Berezovsky and Zakayev, saying that the grant thereof did not imply support by the United Kingdom Cabinet of these people's personal views, actions and statements", the Foreign Office stressed.

"If the Russian authorities have any proof that the aforesaid persons participated in criminal activities or activities supporting terrorist organizations, they must produce this proof and we will immediately take the appropriate action against these people," the Foreign Office assured.

While Wordsworth was visiting the Russian Foreign Ministry, he was also told that "calumny of the persons" who were granted asylum in the United Kingdom "are more and more widely covered in the press, including the state-run BBC, but are not adequately commented by the authorities"

In reply to this, the leadership of the British Broadcasting Corporation said that "BBC is not a state-run, but a public company, whose independence is envisaged by the Royal Charter."

This really renews my faith in the Russians. Look at what has happened in the last 24 hours.

1.The Brits are backtracking bigtime on their two terrorists given asylum. WOW, I am impressed.

2.Kavkas was shut down, and you were right on that one, btw. If you check the links, Lithuania originally resisted, according to at least a few news sources.

3.Mysteriously timed, an islamic charity in Oregon is raided and shut down, with emphasis on their financial support of chechen jihadists.

GO RUSSIA.
