Proposal to add Umarov group to list of foreign terrorist organizations |
2010-04-30 |
![]() Hastings said that Umarov wants to establish and Islamic state in Taliban style on the territory of Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. "They've got a jihad against Russia and the United States. If that ain't a terrorist organization, I don't know what is." Hastings said. Earlier the State Department did not include the Caucasus Emirate to its list of foreign terrorist organizations. Meanwhile, a political analyst from RIA Novosti news agency claims that the reason for the reluctance of some US officials to view Umarov as a terrorist is because "there is an anti-Russia bias. Anyone fighting Russian 'imperialism', as they call it, is basically not a bad man." |
