A suspected terrorist extradited from Kazakhstan to Russia has links with al-Qaeda, a spokesman for Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said Monday. Sergei Ignatchenko said Rustam Chagilov, who was born in 1978, had maintained links with two members of the international terrorist organization's cell in the North Caucasus: Abu Zeit and Marwan. They were both killed in 2005. "FSB bodies are currently investigating Chagilov's complicity in the carrying out and organization of a series of terrorist attacks in Russia," Ignatchenko said. Chagilov was handed over to Russia on September 1 after the FSB put him on the wanted list in June as a suspect in crimes in Chechnya. |
