MOSCOW, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday ruled out sending troops to Afghanistan as part of U.S. operations there, but pledged to help the Northern Alliance opposition, a liberal parliamentarian said.

Putin, speaking to top parliamentarians in the Kremlin, said Russia "will not send our soldiers to Afghanistan, but we shall open corridors and we shall help the Northern Alliance," Boris Nemtsov, head of the liberal SPS, told Interfax news agency.

I bet there are quite a few Russian soldiers that would like to go back to Afghanistan for payback.

No need, there are lots of mujahedeen scum that needs to be cleaned up in Chechnya. It would help immensely if America finally condemned the Chechen terrorists instead of supporting them and pushing Russia to come to a "political solution".
