| Source: Qoqaz.com, Translated by Jihad Unspun Editors Note: This news item appeared on qoqaz.com, an arabic website out of Malaysia which is known to dessiminate messages from the Chechen Mujahideen, shortly after the Moscow massacre ended and provides us with insight into the other side of the story. We remind our viewers that the statements, opinions and points of view expressed in this article are those of the author and shall not be deemed to mean that they are necessarily those of Jihad Unspun, the publisher, editor, writers, contributors or staff.

The operation is considered to be a message to the Russian rulership from the heart of Russia in the capital city Moscow which makes clear that the Mujahideen will not stop such operations and that it will reoccur by the permission of Allah. If a great number of Mujahideen who carried out this operation were killed â which is what they desired namely the martyrdom in the Cause of Allah â then (it should be known) that there is a great number of Chechen man and women who are (continuing) on this path and ask for martyrdom. Like the Russians allowed themselves to invade our state and country in Chechnya and to destroy our homes and to murder our people and children and to rape our women, then we will allow ourselves to do the same with them and Russia will never become happy until we gain our right âeven if the disbelievers hate itâ.
