| Chechers had "wonderfully forged" documents |
| 2002-12-09 |
| The senior investigator for special affairs in the Prosecutorâs Office of Moscow, Viktor Kolchuk, informed on the live TV program âSpecial Reportâ on December 8 that the majority of the terrorists who seized the theater arrived in Moscow via Dagestan. They had to come from somewhere other than Chechnya. The terrorists traveled in chartered buses from Makhachkala and Khasavyurt under the guise of small merchants, without arms and explosives. The people had wonderfully forged passports, and they themselves had never been involved into anything criminal before. Of course they had wonderfully forged passports! They were Chechnyans fer Gawd's sake! It took terrorists half a year to deliver the needed weapons and explosives from Chechnya to Moscow; they were brought to the capital of Russia via cars and lorries. I guess "brown" doesn't deliver there. Three young men in a camouflage were in charge of the terrorists. A certain Abu-Bakar (he is also known by the names Khunov â Aliyev â Elmurzayev). Yasir (who is also known by the name Idris Alkhazurov) was the mastermind of the terrorist act. This man was allegedly trained in Saudi Arabia; ... Duh. ... he has been in Lebanon, Afghanistan, the Pankissi Gorge, and Chechnya. And he got his ticket punched in all the right places. Yasir spoke the Turkish and Arab languages; he was unlikely a Chechen. He spoke Russian with the terrorists. Alikhan â Movsar Barayev â passed himself off as a Turkish businessman who came from Istanbul to Moscow on a business trip. Somebody's got some explaining to do at the Border Patrol. Zura, the widow of terrorist leader Arbi Barayev, commanded the female kamikazes. She loved him, she loved him not, she loved him ... All if these people in command of the terrorists were in their turn dependent as well: they received instructions over the telephone from Chechnya and from abroad (from Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf countries). Yet another big surprise. According to the operative data, the terrorist organization headed by Movsar Barayev was paid about 500 thousand dollars as an advance in July 2002. The terrorists also received two minibuses, a Volkswagen Caravella and a Ford Transit (at a cost of 20-40 thousand dollars) and a Dodge. The terrorists used these vehicles to travel to the theater building in Moscow. Someone explain to me how you drive a Dodge Durango in Russia without being challenged. "Hey Boris, nice car." "Thanks, my controller just bought it for me." "Sweet. Does it have A/C?" "Da, and three, I tell you without joking, THREE hidden compartments for documents." |
