Basayev trying to scam Binny on terrorist attacks?
2004-12-23
Chechen militants are trying to raise money by producing counterfeit videos about alleged terrorist attacks, says a report of the North Caucasus anti-terrorist HQ. According to the HQ, Maskhadov and Basayev who are fully controlled by emissaries of foreign terrorist centers, Muslim-Brothers [Muslim Brotherhood] and Al-Qaeda, are suffering regular strikes of the federal forces, sustaining losses and having an acute financial shortage. In an attempt to demonstrate their alleged military capacity, bandits send fake videos showing the so-called numerous terrorist attacks committed in Chechnya and Ingushetia in 2004 to the HQ of the abovementioned organizations. To this end, they use videos of terrorist attacks committed by bandits back in 2000-2002, and not in 2004. "Thereby, Arab mercenaries, and Maskhadov and Basayev, who are accountable to them, have opted for cheat after losing their people and failing to attain any serious military success," the report runs. Earlier, the HQ reported about the elimination of Basayev's emissary who had tried to deliver videos of terrorist attacks of 2001-2002 to Georgia to counterfeit them later and present them as recent assaults.
