A rebel archive has been seized in Chechnya, a source in the operative headquarters directing the anti- terrorist operation in the Northern Caucasus told Interfax on Sunday.
That would probably mean Dagestan and the late Khattab’s hard boyz. They’re among the most overt connection between Chechnya and the larger al-Qaeda network, so this could be a major bust.
The archive was found in the village of Alleroi, Kurchaloi region of Chechnya, by Federal Security Service officials who were following a lead they received from detained rebels. Apart from the archive, they also found weapons and ammunition. The archive contains information that can be of interest to the special services and the law enforcement agencies. It includes accounting documentation stating who was paid what for what crimes, as well as detailed lists of Aslan Maskhadov’s security guards.
[Knock knock!]
"Yes?"
"Is Magomed here?"
"No! He's out guarding... uhhh... he went to the store!" |
The archive will lead law enforcement officials to other rebels who are suspected of involvement in terrorist acts and attempted murders of servicemen and officials, the headquarters said.
| Could be the Chechen equivalent of Sammy's briefcase... |
