| Chechen rebels threaten to execute missing helicopter crew |
| 2002-05-17 |
| On Wednesday, one of the Chechen warlords, Arab national Al-Walid issued an address to the Russian military in which he claimed he held three crew members of the Mi-24 helicopter that went missing in Chechnya on February 3. Al Walid has threatened to execute the pilots if Russian military command does not agree to release ''20 peaceful residents of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.'' To prove that he really holds the servicemen prisoner, the rebel warlord reported the board number of the missing helicopter, the names and personal details of the allegedly captured pilots. Al-Walid is probably Khattab's successor. Mighty nice of the Arab lands to export these fellows to keep the rest of the world in Wahabbi line. |
