| 2004-01-27 |
| Nineteen-year-old Shebzukhova from the Chechen village of Shelkovskaya, widow of a killed Chechen bandit, was arrested in the Dagestan town of Kizlyar during a special operation, launched by the Provisional Operations Group (POG) of the Russian Interior Ministry. Officials of the POG Press Centre told Itar-Tass on Monday that this specially trained kamikaze woman was about to commit a terrorist act. Detectives are now looking for those who had trained the terrorist. POG men arrested in the Urus-Martan District of Chechnya an active member of an illegal armed gang, who, together with other bandits, attacked a group of policemen on the Goiskoye-Urus-Martan motor road. His case is now being investigated. It was already proved that an earlier arrested resident of Grozny took part in the attempt on the life of the chief of the Oktyabrsky District Police Department of the Chechen capital last November. The police found a camouflaged barrel in the Achkoi-Martan district centre, containing 30 kilograms of hexogen mixed with bolts and nuts. Sixty kilograms of hexogen and aluminium powder, containing metal scraps, were found next to the gate of the âKrasny Molotâ plant in Grozny. The bandits, who arranged those booby-traps, are now being sought. |
