Chechen Rebels Dismiss Russian Amnesty, Vow New Attacks 19.07.2006 MosNews The leader of the Chechen rebels dismissed a Russian amnesty offer on Wednesday, saying attacks outside his home region would be his rebels’ answer to Moscow, Reuters news agency reports. Last week, following the death of Chechen warlord Shamil Basayev, Russia offered Chechens still resisting its rule a fair trial if they surrendered by the end of the month. Basayev, who masterminded the 2004 Beslan school siege, in which 186 children perished, died last week in what the rebels say was a fatal accident but what Russia contends was a targeted raid. Nikolai Patrushev, head of Russia’s FSB security service, said parliament would be summoned from its summer break to approve giving rebels “a chance to return to peaceful life.” But the response from Doku Umarov, head of a rebel movement which has united with Islamist rebels to stage attacks all across the North Caucasus, was ... >> full

Reports say that the warlord was killed when one of the trucks in his convoy blew up while transporting explosives and weapons in the southern Russian republic of Ingushetia. Whether the detonation was accidental, or a result of a planned sabotage, remained unclear, with Russian security officials and Chechen separatists offering conflicting versions of the incident.

July 18th 2006 · Prague Watchdog / Umalt Chadayev Caterpillar armour now moves through village streets in Chechnya By Umalt Chadayev CHECHNYA – The July 4 ban on the movement of federal caterpillar armour along asphalt-surfaced roads in Chechnya has made the military move it through the streets of populated areas. According to information received from a resident of the village of Prigorodnoye, Groznensky district, Russian soldiers recently "took over" the streets of this populated area for moving their caterpillar armoured vehicles. As the man asserts, caterpillar-mounted armour is being moved almost daily through the streets of the village, causing extreme disturbance to the local residents. “Recently Russian soldiers travelling to and from Khankala (the main Russian military base in Chechnya) in caterpillar armoured vehicles have been moving them exclusively through the streets of our village.

Algerian Mujahideen Issues a Eulogy for Shamil Basaev
Publication time: Today at 10:03 Djokhar time
The Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC) in Algeria issued on July 19, 2006, a statement in eulogy for the military commander of the Mujahideen Shura Council in Chechnya, Shamil Basayev. Condoling the Chechen Mujahideen and praising Basayev as steadfast in jihad and "cleaning the Chechen land from the Russian filthy people," the group states that the deaths of their leaders is a sign that they are on the right path. Rejoicing in a leader's martyrdom then, the GPSC believes leaders have been left behind who will wipeout the "illusion of the Russian dog," Putin.
Shamil Basayev AKA Abu Idrese died July 10, 2006, in Ingushetia, when an explosive laden truck in which he was riding accidently exploded.

From: MSN Nicknamepsychoteddybear24 (Original Message) Sent: 7/21/2006 12:35 AM CHECHNYA: MOSCOW PEACE BID TESTS REBEL RESOLVE Will Chechen militants take up the offer of an amnesty now that their most high-profile leader is dead? By Timur Aliev in Grozny The Russian federal government and its allies in Chechnya are seeking to exploit the death of militant leader Shamil Basayev by offering a new amnesty to rebel fighters. Just three days after the death of Basayev in Ingushetia on July 10, the head of the Russian intelligence service, the FSB, Nikolai Patrushev made a public statement, giving the fighters a deadline of August 1 to lay down their weapons. Patrushev said those who gave themselves up by this date would be guaranteed an “objective and unbiased examination of all the circumstances of their participation in illegal armed formations”. Patrushev promised that those who did not agree to the amnesty would be pursued with great ferocity. The pro-Moscow leadership in Chechnya supported Patrushev’s initiative, but suggested a more ... >> full
