Brit Muslim iced in Chechnya. Hurrah!
Kavkaz.org reported that Amir Assadullah, a man who claimed to be a former PE teacher from Manchester has been killed fighting in southern Chechnya when Russian forces attacked the Mujahideen he was leading in Vedeno region at the weekend. Kavkaz reported "Amir Assadullah has become a shahid [a martyr] He was an ethnic African and a British citizen who came to Chechnya in 1996 as a volunteer. He was the only ethnic African in the Chechen army." It added that several other fighters in his group were killed in the confrontation with Russians. The rest fled to the mountains. The Russian newspaper Kommersant reported that Assadullah had been fighting for several years under the Jordanian born guerrilla leader Khattab. Russia claims that several dozen Britons had been recruited by to fight in Chechnya by al-Muhajiroun. "Yes, thank you. I'd love to leave Africa for England, start a respectable career, then become a Muslim and go someplace no one's ever heard of, to fight as a mercenary in a war that doesn't concern me, and have the lower part of my body blown off. Wouldn't everyone?" Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-07-19 |
