2006-07-29
(RIA Novosti) - More than 30 gunmen have surrendered to federal law-enforcement officers in Chechnya in an amnesty, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said Friday. "Thirty-three gunmen have given themselves up after the chairman of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee and head of the Federal Security Service, Nikolai Patrushev, declared an amnesty July 15 for those gunmen who surrender," the committee said. The committee said 27 gunmen had laid down arms in Chechnya, three in Daghestan and another three in Ingushetia, all North Caucasus republics in Russia.

if true..in the past, some of the former "rebels" who got amnesty are working for Russians today..

and some of them btw are brutally effective. One guy in particular, who I can visualize but can't remember the name, is currently enjoying great hunting.
