Suspect linked to notorious Chechen warlord arrested
|
 Police in Chechnya said Thursday they have detained a suspected terrorist militant formerly involved with an infamous insurgent group responsible for numerous killings and high-profile kidnappings in the region in the 1990s.
According to a police statement, the suspect, whose name was not disclosed, joined a terrorist militant group led by warlord Arbi Barayev nicknamed The Terminator in 1996. The man was detained at his house in Chechnya by law enforcement officers for his role in the Islamic insurgency more than a decade ago.
In a statement police said, The police and investigators now need to establish the role of the detainee in the gang, and determine the number of crimes committed and his personal involvement in each of them."
Barayevs men were reportedly responsible for a series of notorious crimes in the region. Barayev is believed to have been responsible for the 1996 murder of six Red Cross workers and a number of kidnappings of journalists, among other high-profile crimes.
In 2001, the FSB said Barayev had been killed during a raid by Russian security forces in Chechnya. He was related to Movsar Barayev, who played a leading role in the deadly Moscow theater siege in 2002.
In February, the Chechen authorities said that a terrorist militant from Barayev's group had turned himself in, but nothing has been reported about his fate since then.
