| 2005-02-26 |
| A journalist from the Al-Anba daily Tuesday visited the home of Ahmad Nasser Eid Abdullah Fajri Al-Al-Azmi, also known as Abu Zeid, who was reportedly killed in Ingushetia near Chechnya when Russian forces stormed a house where he was holed up with two other men who also died in the attack. The 'victim's' father said he identified his son from the photo published by local newspapers. The father added his son left for Chechnya in Sept 12, 1999 with a compatriot friend, identified as Salem Krouz Al-Ajmi who died in a shootout with Russian police in 2000. The victim's parents said their son sometimes telephoned the family. They added the last time they heard from Ahmad was seven months ago. The father added his son who married a Chechnyan girl has two sons — Omar, four years old and Abdullah, 3. Ahmad's brother Khalid said Ahmad criticized the terrorist attacks on US soil on Sept 11, 2001 and described them as an aggression and violations of the principles of Islam. The father said he prefers to bring the 'boys' to Kuwait, however, the decision of the widow must also be taken into consideration, he added. It has been reported Ahmad took part in Kuwait TV serials in 1994 when he was 11 years old and played the role of a boy who was about to drown. Now one wonders, how did this innocent boy turned into one of the well-known Arab warriors in Chechnya. |
