| More on Chechen ties to al-Qaeda |
| 2004-09-04 |
| THE links between Chechen rebels and Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda go back to the Islamic fundamentalist terrorist-training camps of Afghanistan. For the Chechen rebels, this was more a marriage of convenience than a meeting of religious soulmates. After Russian troops poured into Chechnya in 1994 to crush the anarchic republic, Chechen fighters put up a furious resistance in the streets of Grozny, killing hundreds of Russian troops in vicious house-to-house fighting. |

| #1 I don't by this I think AQ supports and fights with the Chechen Islamists. AQ uses Chechen attacks in their recruting videos. Who the hell were the "10 Arabs" at the intfantcide and where did they come from? Santa didn't drop them off. |
