Three innocent Chechens shot by Kadyrov? Today, Russian media informed of three "rebels" that have been shot in Chechnya near the village Yandi, in Ach'khoy-Martan district.
Kadyrov stated that they killed three "terrorists" in the battle which occurred in the mountains early in the morning. Also, Kadyrov said that these three rebels belonged before to Chechen commander named Muslim Gakayev. To remind, earlier, Kadyrov gangs captured three Chechen youths in the city of Shali accusing them for fighting in the team of Muslim Gakayev. Therefore, there is a possibility that Kadyrov gangs shot those prisoners in the mountains so that Kadyrov may inform Kremlin of his loyalty.

Explosions in Grozny were not terror acts, power agents assertThe three explosions that occurred in the evening on February 8 in two districts of Grozny, the Chechen capital, were not terror acts. In one case a grenade blew up, while the two other explosions could be just of everyday origin, sources from power structures of Chechnya believe. "The explosions in the Leninsky and Oktiabrskiy Districts of Grozny, which happened in the evening on February 8, do not fall under the definition of a 'terror act'. The information about them was wrongly presented by the media," said a spokesman from the regional law enforcement bodies. "The two explosions, which occurred at 7:45 and 8:00 p.m. in Lermontov Street in Grozny, were apparently directed against a private security officer at the local MIA. One small-power explosive device was triggered in the garbage bin near the officer' house; the second one - under his Toyota ...
