Turkish newspaper names former military targets of Chechen killers in Istanbul
2022-06-03
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] One of the possible targets of a group of Chechen-born Khamzat Dokuev, who was detained in Turkey in March 2021, was former Russian Defense Ministry officials arrested in absentia in the case of illegal timber sales, the Turkish Sabah reported. The Kremlin knows nothing about this, said a Russian presidential spokesman.
Apparently it was some sort of blood feud between various Chechen parties in and out of government that expanded across the Turkish border. Nothing to do with jihadis at all. Really it’s President Erdogan’s fault for indiscriminately importing ethnic Turks from various Stans without checking their connections. See the Related article link below.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in Turkey, eight people are accused of plotting to assassinate Chechen political emigrants. Six of them were detained and arrested in October 2021. Two more - Khamzat Dokuev and Badrudin Kimaev - were arrested in March of the same year on suspicion of transferring "state confidential information for the purpose of political or military espionage."

According to the DHA agency, the accused Bislan Rasaev received instructions  from Adam Delimkhanov, an adviser to the head of Chechnya, with whom he was in touch, and from Kazbek Dukuzov, who is wanted by Interpol for the murder of journalist Paul Khlebnikov.
