Up to 40 Russian Special Troops Annihilated, Wounded in Chechnya
2006-07-23
As Kavkaz Center news agency got to know last night (July 22), a gang of Russian occupation special forces, so called OMON troops, was defeated on Wednesday, July 19, in the area of village Dargo in Vedeno district of Chechnya. The gang consisted of Russian Interior Ministry mercenaries who conducted punitive expeditions in different towns and villages in southern Chechnya. In total, 30 to 40 Russian kafirs (infidels) were annihilated or wounded. At least 16 Russians were killed and others wounded, reports a Mujahideen spokesman. The successful operation for the extemination of Russian kafirs was carried out by Amir Khairulla and Amir Akraman.

An Arabic website alqoqaz.net which maintains contacts with Arab volunteers fighting in Chechnya reported in an article about the extermination of dozens of Russian occupation troops. The article on the webside was translated from Arabic into English by SITE Institute, a private Washington-based research center. It states that two brigades of Mujahideen carried out a joint operation against the Russian special forces troops. One brigade cut off supply and help lines to a major center of the Russian forces while the other attacked the kafirs. "Dozens of Russians" from the gang "Russian Interior Ministry" were exterminated, writes the SITE Institute providing no precise figures.

In the report, the SITE Institute stresses that the exterminated Russian gang conducted punitive expeditions against Chechen civilians and committed a lot of atrocities. No other details were given by the SITE Institute. The Russian media reported absolutely nothing about the Mujahideen operation.

"Russia's no friend of the 'west' "

Ture, but as long as they're fighting militant Islam I'm pulling for them. (Unless it's like in WWII, when it was hard to tell whether Hitler or Stalin was worse, so you ally with the weaker one, figuring you can deal with him later (which may be the story behind Chamberlain's 'peace in our time' - work with Hitler because Stalin was deemed more dangerous.))

#5  We went to one of the salt mines in south Louisiana on a "science club" trip when I was in high school. They had a perfect cube of salt six feet on a side as one of the exhibits. That would work for Debka, but for Kavkaz, you'd need something several orders of magnitude bigger.
