Chechen Administration Says Top Rebel Leader Killed

 

Chechnya -- Map x

RFE/RL

19 January 2006 -- The pro-Moscow Chechen administration today said that security forces have killed a top separatist field commander allegedly responsible for the spread of radical Islam in the region.

In comments made to reporters in Grozny, Chechen Interior Minister Ruslan Alkhanov identified the dead militant as Supian Abdulayev.

Abdulayev and two other Chechen fighters were reportedly killed on 18 January during a gun battle in Agyshty, a small settlement in Chechnya's Shali Raion.

Alkhanov said Abdulayev was among those responsible for propagating Wahhabism -- a blanket term used in Russia to describe nonofficial Islam -- in Chechnya.

In a statement carried by the pro-independence Daymokh news agency, the Chechen separatist leadership said it is still unable to confirm Abdulayev's death.

MOSCOW: Russia acknowledged on Monday that 103 of its soldiers were killed in combat in the separatist province of Chechnya last year.
Another four soldiers went missing in action over the course of the year, according to data published on the Internet site of the Russian defence ministry.
Russia began last year publishing regular official updates on the numbers of its soldiers “dead or disappeared in the exercise of their duties on the territory of the republic of Chechnya”, where troops are still bogged down in the sixth year of a war with separatist fighters.
The death toll figures for Russian army troops in Chechnya are substantially lower than numbers compiled independently by AFP – numbers however that also include deaths among interior ministry troops – based on data from Chechen officials ...

"Special operations" or imitations?

By Umalt Chadayev

CHECHNYA – In Chechnya there are cases where representatives of security agencies [silovyye struktury] report "successful special operations against fighters" which have not actually taken place.

On January 6 on the outskirts of the village of Bamut in the Achkhoy-Martanovsky district (south-west Chechnya), members of the “Akhmad Kadyrov” special-purpose regiment of the Chechen Interior Ministry conducted a "successful special operation", in the course of which four guerrillas were killed. Information about this was disseminated by several Russian media, with reference to Hussein Aydamirov, head of the local police department.

According to the official information, the group that was eliminated planned to carry out a number of acts of sabotage and terrorism against law enforcers and public officials. "We received operational information about the preparation of provocations, and took pre-emptive measures", Aydamirov ...
