GROZNY, SEPTEMBER 24, (RIA Novosti) - Federal forces, who are conducting some local special operations in several Chechen districts, want to flush out and liquidate terrorist leaders Shamil Basayev and Aslan Maskhadov, as well as rank-and-file bandits.This was disclosed to RIA Novosti here today at the regional command center for supervising the North Caucasian counter-terrorist operation.
According to the center's spokesperson, four bandits have been killed during a special operation, which got underway in the evening of September 23 near Mairtup village, and which still continues.
Two thugs were killed in the vicinity of Alleroi village. Both of them had sided with Avdorkhanov's gang, i.e. Maskhadov's body guards, the authorities claim.
Moreover, a four-man gang was located in Chechnya's Shali district, that is, not far from Avtury village, with federal forces firing mortars at the thugs. Commandos subsequently killed two bandits there.
A gang was bombed in the vicinity of Tsentoroi village, Kurchaloi district. A militant's body was subsequently found there.
The afore-said gang was exposed by the Chechen president's security service. Right now, commandos and the Chechen president's security-service operatives are trying to locate surviving bandits, reports the command center.
Mortars are not quite pin point weapons. I love it!
Russians are doing it right. But what about the civilians you say? They know if they are living near the bad guys and they have been warned. And if they haven't they have now.
