| It’s Kavkaz and hence is likely propaganda, but Chechen warlords do have this nasty penchant for being resurrected. Chechen Press news and information agency reported referring to a Spokesman of State Defense Council ’Majlis al-Shura’ of CRI that the Russian reports about alleged death of Chechen Commander Khamzat Gelayev are false. Chechen Press reported that one of Commander Gelayev’s units really was operating in Dagestan, but the Commander himself was not there. The agency’s source reported that the unit of the Mujahideen, which carried out the raid into Dagestan, has now returned to its permanent positions in Chechnya. The unit has accomplished all combat missions assigned by the Chechen Command. During the battles and movements a total of five Mujahideen became Shaheeds (martyrs). All five died in Russian aerial bombings. Three Mujahideen are missing in action. |
