76-year-old militant turns himself in
2007-01-04
(Interfax) - The oldest ever militant has turned himself in to law enforcers in Chechnya, Interfax was told at the Chechen Interior Ministry on Wednesday. "A 76-year-old local resident came to the Grozny district police saying that in 1998 he had voluntarily joined the armed formation led by Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev and received a Kalashnikov assault rifle. He claims that two months later Yandarbiyev took away the Kalashnikov because the man had not taken active part in militant operations," a ministry spokesman said.

Law enforcers are screening the man. Since the address of Director of the Federal Security Service Nikolai Patrushev to militants over 380 former militants have surrendered to law enforcers in the hope of being amnestied.
