(Interfax) - A suspected member of an illegal armed group, previously controlled by separatist militant leader Shamil Basayev, has been arrested in Grozny. "A local resident, suspected of fighting against federal forces with criminal armed groups, led by Basayev and field commander Batayev between 1998 and 2006, was arrested in Grozny's Oktyabrsky district," a source in law enforcement services told Interfax on Sunday.

In other episode, two residents of the village of Alkhan-Kala turned themselves in to a district police station in Grozny and confessed to collaborating with militants in 2005-06. "They supplied food and medicines to the criminal armed group led by Arbi Barayev," the source said.
