| New deputy military commandant appointed in Chechnya |
| 2002-05-17 |
| Sulim Yamadayev has been appointed deputy military commandant of Chechnya. Sulim is known for his devotion to the Akhmad Kadyrov administration. At the beginning of the anti-terror campaign in Chechnya, Sulim Yamadayev led an armed detachment fiercely fighting on the federal side. Yamadayev had clashed with wahabbites even before Russia launched the Chechnya campaign and had been sentenced to death by them. Never hurts to have a proven loyalist helping to run things... |
