| 2006-03-12 |
| The prime minister of Chechnya says that 7,000 insurgent separatists have surrendered to the Russian government since 1999. Ramzan Kadyrov said that those who gave up arms have received amnesty, the Novosti news agency reported. Kadyrov is the son of former Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov, who was assassinated in 2004 after switching from being a separatist to supporting the Russian government. Kadyrov said that returning militants to normal civilian life was his father`s main aim. Many of the former militants are now in military units fighting the insurgents, Kadyrov said. |

| #3 Recycling camel jockies. Interesting. Wonder if it's true, sounds like it. What is also interesting is the quranic law would call for these boys to be murdered. They must be betting on something. |

| #2 This sounds like a Muslim repatriating muzzie terrorists back into circulation. They may be needed for splodydope duty next year. May as well get them familiar with the police station while it's still there. |

| #1 Many of the former militants are now in military units fighting the insurgents, Kadyrov said. If true, that's very interesting. Is it true? |
