| The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has asked Pakistan to add the name of a Chechen Muslim to the list of top Al Qaeda suspects, sources told Daily Times on Saturday. Sources said the UN declared a Chechen Muslim, Movladi Said Arbievich Udugov an Al Qaeda suspect on the request of the Russian government. Sources added that Mr Udugov fought in the guerrilla war in Chechnya against Russia during the 1990s. Sources said that Mr Udugov made frequent visits to Afghanistan with Quetta and Peshawar as his transit cities. He is closely associated with former Chechen vice president Zalim Khan, who is also accused of having links with Al Qaeda. Udugov was the former Chechen information minister and in charge of the Kavkaz website. He is also part of the Wahhabi bloc of the Chechen resistance. Sources said Mr Udugov was suspected of taking refuge in Afghanistan or in the tribal areas of Pakistan.

| #2 Well, duh! Freezing his assets will force him to get on the phone, trying to find more. One phone call, a bit of triangulation, and "Hello, I'm Mr. JDAM." |

| #1 Then why freeze his assets if he's in the US Air Force's new bombing range? |
