| Basayev laying low |
| 2005-04-17 |
| Nikolai Rogozhkin, Commander-in-Chief of the Interior Troops of the Russian Interior Ministry, believes Shamil Basayev, a Chechen terrorist leader, is "keeping a low profile." This explains why his voice has not been heard on the air for a long time. Assessing the militants' communication equipment, Rogozhkin admitted that Basayev was as good as that used by the federal forces. "Basayev makes use of similar cellular phones with a kind of 'closed' equipment. This is why they can communicate among themselves," Rogozhkin said. He also said the strength of the Chechen militants is "enough to cause periodic destabilization of the republic." Rogozhkin said he had no information on the precise number of militants. "To earn their pay terrorists act cynically, and I cannot dare say that peace will come tomorrow," he added. |
