Kadyrov sez there's nowhere Basayev can hide
There is no place in Chechnya where the militants ringleader Shamil Basayev and his henchmen can feel secure, Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov has said.The law enforcers, secret services and military now exercise far better control than in the past. The militants cannot feel safe anywhere, he said. Basayevs hands are in the blood of so many innocent victims, so many people want him to be found, that there is no way back for him, Kadyrov told the Rossiiskaya Gazeta daily in an interview. Basayev is responsible for shedding the blood of my father and for insulting faith. How could he send his men to the school (in Beslan) and take children hostage? Kadyrov asked. These are not the methods for gaining freedom and independence. It is such types as Maskhadov and Basayev, who make the people think that Islam is a bloodthirsty religion. In reality Islam and the sharia laws are the most beautiful and pure thing there can be in a religion, Kadyrov said. He is certain that Maskahdov and Basayev were the ones who ordered the May 9, 2004 bomb attack at the stadium in Grozny. The man who caused the bomb to explode is dead. Law enforcers tracked him down in Grozny and exterminated, while the organizer of the attack, Hairulla, still goes unpunished. Kadyrov named the man who killed Chechnyas first president Yunadi Turchayev, the chief of a group of militants in Grozny. When repairs were still in progress at the stadium, he arranged for planting a bomb under the VIP stand. He had known that my father would be there some day. On May 9, 2004 such an opportunity offered itself. In any case, I suspect that there was treason on our side (in the law enforcement), Kadyrov said. Posted by: Dan Darling 2006-03-23 |
