Al-Qaeda involved in attack on Ingush president
The Russian Prosecutor General's Office says it has evidence pointing to the involvement of Al Qaeda emissaries in the terrorist act perpetrated against Ingush President Murat Zyazikov in April 2004.
A CD recording of the terrorist act was found in the home of the father-in-law of Al-Qaeda emissary Abu Dzeit in the village of Tsotsin Yurt in Chechnya's Kurchaloi district, Deputy Prosecutor General Nikolai Shepel told Interfax.
"Investigators verified the information and confirmed that they were dealing with a recording of the terrorist act against Zyazikov. The CD caption (blasting Zyazik) was another proof that they were right," Shepel said.
Notorious warlord Shamil Basayev claimed responsibility for the terrorist act. "Obviously, Abu Dzeit, who was killed last year, took part in the planning of the terrorist act," he said.
