The law enforcement bodies of Daghestan (a Russian constituent republic on the Caspian Sea) investigated the September 29, 2004 attack on policemen in Khasavyurt. The Daghestani Interior Ministry said that the attacker was Jordanian Abu Jarah Urduni.  This international terrorist was eliminated on May 17, 2005 during a special operation near Khasavyurt (a town in northwestern Daghestan on the border with Chechnya where the second Chechen campaign began in 1999).Jarah was an Al Qaeda emissary in the North Caucasus and had links with the Muslim Brothers and Al-Haramein terrorist organizations, as well as terrorist leaders Shamil Basayev, Aslan Maskhadov, Khattab, Abu al-Walid, etc. He was involved in many terrorist acts in Chechnya, the regional operative headquarters for the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus said. Jarah was trained to make and use explosive devices and poisons in a Talib camp in Afghanistan. He also helped organize a terrorist training network in Chechnya. Posted by: Dan Darling 2005-08-20 |
