Commander denies battalion's involvement in Borozdinovskaya events
MOSCOW. June 24 (Interfax) - Sulim Yamadayev, commander of Vostok (East) special battalion of the 42nd motorized infantry division, has denied all claims of direct or indirect involvement of his subordinates in the June 4 developments in Borozdinovskaya, Chechnya.
"I take the responsibility to say that the formations of my battalion never conducted any special operations in either Borozdinovskaya or the three villages [Kurdyukovskaya, Kargalinskaya, Duboskaya] located between it and the district capital [Shelkovskya]," he told Interfax on the phone ion Friday.
Eleven local residents disappeared from Borozdinovskaya at the beginning of June. Later reports came that they disappeared after a special operation in Borozdinovskaya in which servicemen from Vostok battalion had been discovered.
"Decisions on such operations cannot be made at the level of battalion," Yamadayev said.

It has had its own internal divisions and unrest as well, and bombings, arrests, skirmishes and the discovery of weapons caches or explosives have been regular occurrences there this year. The first two of the bombs ... >> full
