Moscow 'recognizes' the Caucasus Emirate

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:45:08 GMT

An inquisitive message has arrived from Moscow on Monday. As per official release of the "Kremlin mob," the so called "supreme court" of Russia, it gives a formal recognition to the Caucasus Emirate as an "international terrorist organization." Besides the recognition in itself, the "supreme court" deemed it important to "outlaw" the Caucasus Emirate. The Russian sources have informed that the session of the "supreme court" occurred behind closed doors. During the process, the representatives of the various Kremlin "gangs" were given stage time to voice their concerns. Amongst these were the FSB, MIA, Department of Justice and Prosecutor-General's Office. None of the representatives of the Caucasus Emirate were present at "court", indicated Moscow sources. The report further indicates that the "court's" simultaneous decision to recognize and prohibit the Caucasus Emirate, can be appealed within the next 10 days. Russian mass media has recalled that the Caucasus Emirate was proclaimed in the fall of 2007 by Emir Dokka Umarov. Russia's recognition and prohibition of the Caucasus Emirate can be attributed to the absurd propaganda practices to generate "criminal cases" as a retaliation for the destruction of military convoys of the occupant's forces. However this subsequent ludicrousness from Kremlin, has a reasonable explanation. Moscow's present acknowledgement of the Caucasus Emirate is the second evident sign that Kremlin felt realness and tangibility of the Islamic state of the Caucasian Muslims. It came after two years of attempts to ignore, ridicule and silence the "virtual fantasies" of the militants. The first apparent sign was the formation of the "North-Caucasus district" which fully coincided with the borders of the Caucasus Emirate, defined by Dokku Umarov as early as fall 2007. The leader of Kremlin essentially duplicated the decree of Dokku Umarov. As per assessment of former diplomat, expert on the issues of the Caucasus, Doctor of the French Institute for Higher Studies in Social Science, Georgi Mamulia, the decree of Russia's leader Medvedev, in regards to the creation of the "North-Caucasus District" demonstrates that "Kremlin is having tougher and tougher of a time in controlling that stormy region." According to Mamulia, Moscow's decision, "without a doubt indicates the panic, that in the present time exists in Kremlin in relation to the problems of the North Caucasus." Even for the most notorious skeptics and lovers of muddying the waters, it is obvious today the latest actions and decisions of Moscow are dictated by the desire to somehow resist the rapidly developing process of crystallizing the new "Caucasus format", which leaves no room for the infidels of Russia and their local puppets. � Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

Winter won't become a time for rest. Mujahideen hitting and attacking

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:36:46 GMT

Successful special operation has been carried out by the Mujahideen in Dagestan in a day. Pinpoint strikes have been conducted against high-ranking targets in Shamilkala (former Makhachkala) and in Izberbash village. Lt. Col. Gapiz Isaev, a so-called ringleader of "Inter-district department for combating extremism", gang has been eliminated in Izberbash village. The apostate was eliminated around 10.30 am local time on Friday. He was blown up in the Lermontov Street, near a market place, when Isayev's Niva car was passing by. Isayev died of wounds right on the spot. Exactly 10 hours after a successful special operation in Izberbash, a car with a ringleader of "city police department" gang, Colonel Akhmed Magomedov, has come under fire the capital of Province of Dagestan, Shamilkala. Magomedov's Volga sedan car came under fire in Akushinsky Avenue at about 22:00 local time. A high-ranking apostate Magomedov himself, 2 his bodyguards, and his personal driver-bodyguard were eliminated as a result of this attack. Fierce battles were taking place in the Urus-Martan district, neighboring to Dagestan Province of Nokhchicho (AKA Ichkeria), for two days. Conflicting information about the battles, which were reported by the occupation and puppet sources indicate that the statements of apostate Kadyrov, putting it mildly, does not correspond to reality. Moreover, geography of military clashes is expanding. The puppet ringleader said about clashes near the village of Dacha-Borzoi. Infidels said about the fightings in the area of Chishki and Komsomolskoye (Saadi-Kotor) villages. It is clear that Kadyrov's allegations about the death of the Mujahideen and the lack of losses from the apostates are false. Unlike the "one-off" Kadyrovites (as they are called by the Russian infidels), the invaders are forced to count losses among their special forces, who are fighting in Chechnya in the status of "business as usual". Hiding the loss of 11 soldiers from MIA of Bashkortostan soldiers at once is obviously not possible. Hence the sudden recognition. In the Province of Ghalghaycho (AKA Ingushetia), the subversive activity of the Mujahideen is also not decreasing, despite cold winter and claims by the ringleader of the local apostates, Yevkurov, who received last year severe head injuries as a result of the Martyr attack, that only 15 "militants" are left in Ingushetia. The absurdity of Yevkurov's statement is clear and so obvious that no one comments on it. Earlier he, for example, asserted that "militants are being drugged with special tea with psychotropic additives, so that they became zombies". Apostate complained that "the police still did not manage to reverse the situation and could not cope with the militants". Does it mean that tens of thousands of puppet policemen, occupation soldiers, Special Forces of the FSB, MIA, and other gangs can not cope with 15 Mujahideen? Recent developments in the Caucasus Emirate indicate that the winter does not become a time for rest. Mujahideen are continuing hitting invaders and their puppets. The past year has also showed that the command of the Caucasus Emirate made adjustments in the tactics of sabotage and guerrilla warfare, which is increasingly demonstrated not only in successful attacks on the territory of the CE, but also in the painful strikes against targets in Russia. It has also become clear that the Caucasus Emirate is not experiencing a shortage of human resources, which is shown in a wave of Martyrdom operations. The main deterrent factor for the Mujahideen is a lack of weapons. A solution of this problem will be one of the priorities for the Mujahideen in the coming year, along with completely predictable offensive operations. Ruslan Sinbarigov, Kavkaz Center

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:42:35 GMT

The chief of the Shamilkala (former Makhachkala) police department gang, whose vehicle was ambushed and rained with bullets late Friday evening, died of wounds on the way to hospital. "Colonel Akhmed Magomedov's Volga sedan and his bodyguards in a Lada-Priora car came under fire in Akushinsky Avenue at about 22:00 local time," a source said. The shots were fired from several places. Two bodyguards and the driver suffered multiple wounds and died instantly. No other details reported. Kavkaz Center

U.S. intelligence is worried about the situation in the Caucasus

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:47:28 GMT

Unresolved conflicts in the Caucasus are "the most likely flashpoints" in the Eurasia region, Dennis Blair, director of U.S. national intelligence, said in annual threat assessment. "Moscow's expanded military presence in and political-economic ties to Georgia's separatist regions and sporadic low-level violence increase the risk of miscalculation or overreaction leading to renewed fighting," he said in a prepared testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on February 3. The similar opinion was expressed in the previous threat assessment last year. Dennis Blair also said that last year Russia showed some signs that it was prepared to be more cooperative with the U.S., including on Afghanistan and Iran. "I remain concerned, however, that Russia looks at relations with its neighbors in the former Soviet space-an area characterized by President Medvedev as Russia's �zone of privileged interests' - largely in zero-sum terms, vis-à-vis the United States, potentially undermining the US-Russian bilateral relationship," Dennis Blair said. He also said that Moscow remained capable of militarily dominating the former Soviet space, "although Russia's experience in the August 2008 Georgia conflict revealed major shortcomings in the Russian military."

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:35:09 GMT

Contradictory information about battle in Chechnya's Urus-Martan district

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:00:25 GMT

6 Russian infidels were eliminated and 5 members of the occupation gang "internal troops" wounded as a result of shootout in the Urus-Martan district a day before, Russian occupation sources suddenly recognized. The fighting is continuing 7 km. from the village of Komsomolskoye (Chechen name Saadi-Kotar). Later invaders specified the number of their losses, claiming 5 killed and 7 injured members of the gang of "Interior troops". The occupation sources reported its version of the battle, which allegedly occurred while Mujahideen tried "to break out of an encirclement": "A group commander, a squad chief, a section commander and a rifleman were killed in a shootout. Intelligence chief, a platoon commander, the senior operator of reckoning team and a commander of detachment were wounded. When militants tried to break out of the encirclement, a second battle occurred. As a result, a sniper was killed, two platoon commanders were wounded. Infidels reported that the Mujahideen came under artillery fire. Thus invaders claimed that the battle wyas conducted with a group of 15 fighters. In Friday afternoon occupation sources with reference to the puppet ringleader Kadyrov gave a more detailed version of events. According to their data, the combined forces of apostates and infidels from various gangs were engaged in the battles against the Mujahideen. Theese gangs were: "Special Purpose Police regiment-2", "Terek police force", "Main directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation", "North battalion", "Interior troops of MIA of Russia", "FSB", etc. 4 killed infidels from the gang of "Ufa detachment of special forces of the Interior Ministry of Russia" were killed, a representative of the "Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bashkortostan", Ruslan Sharafutdinov, told to reporters. It was also reported that a day before a gun battle took place near the village of Chishki. A few hours after the first reports of the battle, Kadyrov hastened to declare that "Delimkhanov was in charge of an operation against the militants". We would like to mention thereupon that the ringleader of Chechen apostates, Kadyrov, announced earlier that "the battle with 15 fighters was taking place in the village of Dacha-Borzoi". According to the Russian puppet, 2 "militants", including an "Arab mercenary", were allegedly killed in this battle. Later, the apostate increased the number of "dead militants" to 6. No evidence of these apostate's allegations was provided. In his previous statements Kadyrov did not mention Delimkhanov's name. Meanwhile, on Friday some anonymous sources in the occupation command claimed 5 Mujahideen killed during the fighting in the Urus-Martan district. We would like to remind also that about 2 weeks ago the puppet ringleader publicly announced a next major operation against the Mujahideen in the mountains of Nokhchicho (AKA Ichkeria/Chechnya) Province of the Caucasus Emirate. Nothing has been reported about the "operation" from the puppet media since then. Meanwhile, in the neighboring Provinces of Dagestan and Ghalghaycho (AKA Ingushetia) sabotage squads of the Mujahideen continued sabotage attacks against infidels and apostates. So, according to the information received from Nazran, a mobile squad of Mujahideen attacked 2 vehicles with apostates from the gang "MIA" Thursday night on the Rostov-Baku highway. According to puppet sources, 3 apostates were wounded as a result of this attack. In Dagestan, Russian troops sealed off the Balakhany village. According to specified data, infidels from Russia's Irkutsk region participated in the operation. According to local residents, after staying for several hours on the outskirts of the village and searching several houses of the villagers, infidels went back to the base in the village of Shamilkala (Untsukulsky district). All this time the convoy was accompanied by helicopters. Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

U.S. National Intelligence warns of possible renewed war between Armenia and Azerbaijan

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:54:41 GMT

The top US intelligence official says the likelihood of another Armenian-Azerbaijani war for Nagorno-Karabakh has increased because of the US-backed rapprochement between Armenia and Turkey, RFE/RL's Armenian Service reports. National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair warned in written testimony to a US Senate committee late on February 2 that "although there has been progress in the past year toward Turkey-Armenia rapprochement, this has affected the delicate relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and increases the risk of a renewed conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh." The United States has strongly supported and at times mediated in the Turkish-Armenian rapprochement that began nearly two years ago and led to the signing in October of two protocols envisaging the normalization of relations between the two historical foes. Azerbaijan has condemned the agreements, saying an open border with Turkey would only discourage Armenia from seeking a compromise solution to Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijani leaders have also continued to threaten to win back Karabakh and surrounding Armenian-occupied territory by force. The authorities in Armenia and Karabakh have dismissed the war threats. Until recently at least, US diplomats had expressed confidence that the chances were slim of renewed large-scale fighting in Karabakh. Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

Georgia TV fights satellite 'censorship' battle in Paris court

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:34:59 GMT

The battle between a Georgian TV station and a satellite operator heated up Wednesday as the channel headed to a court here vowing to present proof that Russian pressure blocked its broadcasts to the Caucasus. "I have proof that it is the content that presents a problem for them," said Henri D'Armagnac, who represents the Russian-language First Caucasian channel that seeks to present an alternative to Moscow's near-monopoly of TV news. The state-funded channel is taking Paris-based Eutelsat to a commercial court here on Thursday, accusing it of breaching a contract it allegedly signed to begin broadcasting on Feb. 1. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili on Tuesday accused the satellite operator of setting a "dangerous precedent of international political censorship" by taking the channel off the air. He urged the French government, which through a state investment fund owns a quarter of Eutelsat, to intervene and accused state-controlled Russian gas giant Gazprom of trying to monopolize the international airwaves. First Caucasian was launched amid deep tensions between Georgia and Russia, who fought a brief war in 2008 over the Russian-backed breakaway Georgian region of South Ossetia. The channel's availability in the Caucasus was always likely to infuriate Moscow, which has fought two wars against Chechen separatists and is facing an Islamic insurgency in the region. First Caucasian lawyer D'Armagnac told AFP he hoped to convince the court to issue a provisional order to force Eutelsat to resume transmitting the channel from its satellites. The channel was broadcast on a test basis for a week last month and is continuing to emit its programs on the Internet. Eutelsat, which has categorically denied that Russia tried to exert pressure on it, said Wednesday it was perplexed by the legal proceedings. "There is no contract in place," said the firm's deputy CEO, Jean-Paul Brillaud. The satellite operator said it had sent a contract to First Caucasian but was still waiting for the channel to sign it. Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

Russian invader terrorists murdered a rural accountant in the Botlikh district of Dagestan

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:14:55 GMT

Independent sources�refute the KGB claims�of killing�Mujahideen in the Botlikh district of Dagestan. A resident of Dagestan, Gusayev, writes in his livejournal: �� "All the�media tells about killing Mujahideen in the Botlikh district of Dagestan. They said a policemen was also killed during a special operation carried out by the KGB (FSB). �� There's a lot of rumors and talks about�a murdered rural accountant and a policeman by Russian secret services. �� Today�I�had a business talk for�more than an hour with a guy from Botlikh. We�also discussed�news. He said he knew the murdered accountant and he was�very surprised how�the accontant�could get involved into this matter. �� He also said the policeman went to the place of shooting and came under fire. How long will this continue?" �� Another resident of Dagestan, Rasul Kadiyev, a lawyer, also said that an accountant and�a policeman were killed and a schoolboy was abducted in the Botlikh district by the Russians. �� Russian media and Reuters reported that the KGB�claimed one of those killed on February 3 was "identified as Sayf al-Islam". The second person killed by the Russian was assumed to be a 39-year-old resident of the village Andi, Botlikh district, Ibrahim Magomedov. But a Russian paper "Gazeta" reported that no one in Dagestan believe in what the Russians say about killing "the emissary of al-Qaida", Sayf al-Islam,�operating�under instructions�from the Georgian intelligence". �� The most mountainous frontier post of Russia is located in the village of Botlikh. Bird won't fly, the snake won't creep there, the paper writes. �� 3 people were killed, "Gazeta" reported. All of them were local residents, well known to everybody�from the time of their birth: an accountant, a worker from a neighboring construction site and a policeman. None of them could be a citizen of Egypt as the KGB claims. Department of Monitoring, Kavkaz Center

ATTENTION! We do not recommend this material to readers with weak nerves

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:38:49 GMT

As reported in November 2009, more than 30 apostates whom the puppet ringleader Kadyrov suspected of disloyalty were killed during the first 10 days in November under his order. Thus, at least 12 Kadyrovites were captured and killed in the city of Argun. Other sources report that more than 20 apostates were killed in Argun. Several other people were shot dead in Khosi-Yurt and other villages. As previously reported, a commander of Kadyrovites nicknamed Ebbi was captured and killed in the city of Argun. Later repots said, a brother of Ebbi who tried to flee from Chechnya was also killed. An apostate nicknamed Mamaka (the big guy who posed on a photo with the martyred, Insha Allah, Sheikh Abdul-Khalim) was killed. There is information that 2 of his brothers - Akhmed and Ruslan - were captured, their fate is unknown. Sources said that the killings of apostates suspected of disloyalty were preceded by monstrous and totally unhuman acts of cruelty. This picture shows a victim of violence (presumably, it is one of brothers Mamaka) and confirms earlier reports that Kadyrov is a sick maniac, a bloody butcher and a totally insane sadist. Only a mentally deficient bastard can do such thing to a human. (at the background are corpses of other apostates, including, allegedly, the corpse of Mamaka). Kadyrov's commander Sultan Buluyed and his brother were also killed. Another commander of apostates, Khavazhi from Argun and 2 of his brothers, Bislan and Ramzan, were killed too. Sources say that some of the killed apostates were declared "eliminated militants". Thus, at least 2 of 4 killed "militants" were earlier kidnapped and executed by Kadyrovites near Serzhen-Yurt. A few days ago a certain Ramzan Dzhavathanov (alias Ramzik), a member of Yug (South) gang, was also killed near Makhkety and proclaimed a "militant". The exact reasons why Kadyrov arranged a bloody killings of his own men are not yet known. According to some reports, the ringleader of apostates became very suspicious and nervous fearing assassination and betrayal. Any act of disloyalty or rumors about disloyalty of this or other apostate puts Kadyrov under a strong stress. Unleashing terror against his own men, Kadyrov is trying to prevent any attempt to betray him. Thus, Kadyrov usually accompanies purges of his own men with noisy propaganda about "victories over militants". Kavkaz Center

Apostate Yevkurov counted Mujahideen, alleging that only 15 of them are left

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:07:39 GMT

The ringleader of Ingush apostates, Yevkurov, expressed public dissatisfaction with the activities of the puppet police gangs which, according to the apostate, "do not properly respond to militants' attacks". "For two weeks militants damage the republic, however�there�is no�response�actions against them", the ringleader of apostates lamented. Yevkurov�evaluated the�fighting�capacity of Mujahideen as very modest: "According to operative information, there are three groups�of three to five persons each that are�mainly engaged in attacks but there are cases when the attacks�are conducted by some criminal elements under the cover of�participants in illegal armed groups", Yevkurov claimed. At the end of last year, one of the ringleader of the infidels, Yedelev, announced 800 "militants and their supporters" are�operating in the North Caucasus. At the same time in Chechnya there are allegedly only 200 Mujahideen. Meanwhile,�a brother of the Emir of the Caucasus Emirate Dokka Umarov, Vakha, said in a recent interview with Reuters that up to 5 thousand Mujahideen were�operating on the territory of the Caucasus Emirate and about 3 thousand of them�were in the Province of Nokhchicho (AKA Chechnya).
