The act of terror in Chechnya's Nadterechny district was plotted by Aslan Maskhadov [the leader of the Chechen rebels], head of the Chechen administration Akhmad Kadyrov has announced. He also pointed out that all measures would be taken to detain those who ordered and committed the act of terror and hold them responsible.

"Extremists want to reanimate themselves before their foreign customers who invest huge financial resources into their criminal activity," this is how Kadyrov accounted for the activation of separatist activity. "Separatists do not care who suffers from their criminal activity. Nearly every terrorist act kills civilians," the head of the Chechen administration pointed out. According to him, after the referendum on the Chechen constitution the separatist base has decreased. "That is why they want by all means to prove that they are still strong and ready to continue the useless war to achieve their selfish ends," he stated. "No acts of terror can stop the republic's gradual development on the way to Chechnya's peaceful restoration and revival," Kadyrov concluded. |
