Five militants, collaborators voluntarily surrender in Chechnya
2006-09-14
Five members of illegal armed groups and their collaborators have turned themselves in to the Chechen law enforcement authorities in the past 24 hours, Chechen Interior Ministry spokesman Magomed Deniyev told Interfax on Wednesday. Three of them are residents of the Naura district. They confessed that they were members of the criminal armed group under Bugurayev's command during the first campaign. Another ex-militant, a resident of the Shatoi district, kept weapons belonging to an active member of an illegal armed group, supplied food to militants and put them up for the night. He surrendered two anti-tank mines.

A militant from Gudermes said he had kept a Kalashnikov rifle that belonged to a member of a criminal armed group, Deniyev said. A woman from the Itum-Kale district voluntarily surrendered 11 kilograms of explosives and a hunting gun. She was questioned and her testimony is being checked. She might get a compensation payment as provided for in a Chechen government resolution, said Deniyev.
