Law enforcement agencies detained a warlord of the gang that was subordinate to Aslan Maskhadov in Gudermes. Criminal proceedings were instituted against the detainee under the article of terrorism, a source in the regional operational headquarters of the anti-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus told Itar-Tass on Thursday.

It was found out that a gang of ten bandits carriedo ut several blasts of armoured personnel carriers of the federal troops in the Gudermes district of Chechnya for May-July 2001. The militants blasted the armoured train on the railway line Kadi-Yurt — Gerzel in August 2001. The detainee is being checked for complicity in other crimes.

Meanwhile, a large-scale terrorist act was averted in Chechnya on Wednesday, the source emphasized. The bandits were planning to use a large amount of explosives for the terrorist act. A resident of the Sunzha district surrendered to police. "He told about the place where a cache with the prepared explosive device was located. Checking the information police found a cache that contained a plastic barrel with 80 kilograms of explosives and screws near Sernovodsk in the Achkhoi-Martan district," the source pointed out. Investigation is in progress.
