IOW the good ol' days. The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the detentions of alleged participants in the group's attack of Shamil Basayev and Khattab on Dagestan in 1999 continue more than 20 years later. On May 16, 2021, the Investigative Committee announced that more than 80 people had been convicted for participating in Basayev’s raid, the criminal prosecution of seven people, including Basayev himself, had been discontinued due to their death, and another 28 people were put on the wanted list. On December 27, 2021, the Investigative Committee reported that natives of Stavropol Kairbek Bakiev and Ilkhan Kanmurzaev were detained on suspicion of participating in the attack of the Basayev and Khattab group on Dagestan in 1999.  In February, Eldar Mashaev , a resident of Stavropol, was detained in connection with a raid on Dagestan . On August 7, 1999, more than a thousand armed fighters entered Dagestan from Chechnya under the leadership of Shamil Basayev  and Jordanian Amir Khattab  (also referred to as Emir Khattab). Fighting continued in the republic for more than a month, only on September 15, 1999, Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev announced that the territory of Dagestan was completely liberated from the participants in the attack, according to the "Caucasian Knot" certificate " Invasion of militants into Dagestan (1999)". The FSB announced today the arrest of two more people suspected of participating in the attack of the Basayev and Khattab group on Dagestan. These are residents of Karachay-Cherkessia and the Stavropol Territory, writes with reference to the Center for Public Relations (TsOS) of the FSB Interfax. "In the course of work on a criminal case initiated under articles 209 (banditry), 279 (armed rebellion) and 317 (encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer) of the Russian Criminal Code, an irrefutable evidence base for their participation in the crime was formed," the secret service said.
