Mujahideen eliminate 23 apostates in a large-scale operation in Ichkeria

The spokesman of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate has reported to Kavkaz Center that on 14 Rabi' Al-Akhar 1429 (20 April 2008), about 8:00 pm, 400-500 Mujahideen entered several villages in Urus-Martan and Achkhoi-Martan districts of Wilayah Nokhchicho (Ichkeria) of the Caucasus Emirate.

The Mujahideen units assigned to the Western Front (under command of Amir Tarkhan Gaziyev) entered Bamut, Yandi-Kotar, Ashkhoi-Kotar, Gekhi-Chu, Shalazhi, and a number of other villages.

At least 23 Kadyrov's murtadin were eliminated, 15 were arrested during the operation. Several puppet administration buildings were burned, as well as homes of most active murtadin (apostates). Many vehicles belonging to the infidel police were destroyed. Significant amount of weapons and ammunition were captured. The Mujahideen also attacked bases of Russian infidels.

The commander of Western Front of Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate, Chief of Mukhabarat (Secret Service) CE Tarkhan Gaziyev in his phone interview to Chechencenter news agency has confirmed the information about the large-scale special operation, which was carried out in line with the plan of spring-summer military campaign approved by Amir of the Caucasus Emirate Dokka Umarov.

Tarkhan Gaziyev said to Kavkaz Center that during the operation Mujahideen took control over the all settlements nearby to district center of Achkhoi-Martan with the aim of carrying out special operations to eliminate the most active supporters of Russian invaders. The operation was successful. Kavkaz Center has not received any information on casualties of Mujahideen.

Russian occupation command, Chechen murtadin and Russian mass media are stubbornly silent on the successful large-scale special operation of Mujahideen. Some Russian editions, with reference to the occupation command have only reported that "two armed men in camouflage set fire to local administration building of Bamut village on the night of April 21 ".

Meanwhile, according to a source of Kavkaz Center in Jokhar, by learning the night events in Urus-Martan and Achkhoi-Martan districts the ringleader of Chechen murtadin Kadyrov was in hysterics, shouting at his subordinates, accusing them of cowardice and betrayal.

Such a large-scale operation of Mujahideen in a foretaste of inauguration of the new Kremlin chief Medvedev, plunged into shock not only Kadyrov, who has long been convincing the Kremlin that only 15 Mujahideen lead by "sick" Dokka Umarov are left in the mountains, but also the Moscow. A graphic evidence of this is an absolute taboo by Russian invaders on any report of successful large-scale operations by Mujahideen in Northern Caucasus and in Chechnya. Allowing only to report "some sorties of remnants of militants, who did not acquiesce to establishment of peace in Chechnya".

The silence of Russian occupation command and Russian media on the military operation of Mujahideen can be attributed partly to the fact that a so-called "Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights" Thomas Hammarberg arrived to Ichkeria on Monday, "to personally see the positive changes", allegedly occurring in the occupied Wilayah of the Caucasus Emirate.

"I visited republic over a year ago, and I have heard much of positive changes in the human rights sphere over the time. The goal of my visit is to make sure of this progress in person," European ombudsman told the press at Jokhar airport.

The mention of establishment of the Caucasus Emirate had also prohibited by the Kremlin. After 8 years of difficult efforts to quell Ichkeria, the Moscow is clearly not eager to accept the fact that instead of one Chechnya now it has to deal with the combined forces of the Caucasus Mujahideen.
