| Cue "It's a Family Affair" theme ... |
 A series of special operations that have been conducted in Chechnya have shown that guerillas acting in the republic have not only financial and ideological but also blood relations with international terrorist organizations, spokesman for the federal forces in the North Caucasus Maj. Gen. Ilya Shabalkin told Interfax on Thursday. | Just one big happy "family". |
For instance, prominent terrorist Jarah, who was recently killed in Dagestan, represented al Qaeda in Chechnya, Shabalkin said. According to information gathered by law enforcement agencies, Jarah's older brother belongs to Osama bin Laden's inner circle, and Jarah himself was a cousin of Jordanian terrorist and al Qaeda's emissary in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Shabalkin said.
