A news from the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria
As a result of recent reforms in top authorities of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (ChRI), all the hold has completely passed to Shamil Basaev - also known as a great supporter of jihad and initiator of Beslan hostage taking tragedy. As far as I know this man he would never come down to negotiations and the only thing he is good at is having the gun at the ready.
Clear enough, Shamil Basaev now has all the controls over mojaheds which means total radicalization of the movement. This becomes an evident warning for Western politicians and NGOs who deal with Chechen militants as they have openly accepted ideology of terrorism. Therefore, they must not only give the terrorists the go-by but also withdraw from ventilation of Chechen question. Otherwise Western politicians and NGOs will have to share the responsibility for terrorist acts planed to be committed not only in Europe but also in the U.S. (God save America!) in the short run.
