| US to blacklist Chechen groups | |
| 2003-02-21 | |
The US Government is to add three rebel groups from Russia's breakaway republic of Chechnya to its list of terrorist organisations, State Department officials have said. The groups could not be named until an official notice is published in the US Government gazette, the Federal Register. But diplomatic sources both in the US and Russia have identified the groups as the Battalion of Kamikaze Shahid, the Congress of Peoples of Ichkeria and Dagestan and the United Force of Caucasian Mujahideen.

| #2 The "Battalion of Kamikaze Shahid"? Sounds like some serious cross breeding going on. Maybe they're confusing them with the al-Frankenstein Martyr's Brigade. |
