Confessions of a Chechen Suicide Bomber
EFL. "I was a right deviationist wrecker." Sorry, wrong confession.
Colonel Ilya Shabalkin said: "During the interrogation, it was determined that terrorists belonged to the armed group commanded by former Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov. The woman said, her name was Luiza Asmayeva, she was 23 years old, she came from the Naursky district of Chechnya. She said that she was forced to leave her home on February 9th, 2003. However, we found out that she had never lived on the address that she mentioned. The passport department had no record for the womanâs name either. The medical examination determined, the woman was very exhausted, she was four months pregnant. Her body was covered with bruises. The blood test revealed strong psychotropic drugs. The woman said, she was trained to be a living bomb for an act of terrorism in Grozny. Arab mercenaries were her "spiritual teachers" at a terrorist camp, where she was staying with other Chechen women.
Sounds like what the Symbionese Liberation Army did to Patty Hearst:
"Luiza Asmayeva said, they picked out âliving bombsâ from the Chechen women, who had no respectable men among their relatives, i.e. fathers and elder brothers. To suppress womenâs will and make them perform terrorist acts, gunmen used various violent methods, including sexual violence as well. A way back home is cut for such women, because they are considered to be humiliated and stained according to local laws and customs. To speed up the process, terrorists also used psychotropic drugs. Terrorists humiliate women on a regular basis, driving them in despair, and they eventually have to agree to become suicide bombers."
While I donât trust Pravda, it makes sense.
