Maskhadov threatens Basayev with a tribunal

According to sources in the law enforcement agencies of Chechnya, the militants are indeed following Aslan Maskhadov’s order to cease hostilities until the end of February: no significant incidents have occurred in recent days. This indirectly confirms the fact that Maskhadov is still an influential figure in Chechnya. And the demarche against Basayev can be exclusively propaganda: they say, the terrorist is alive and well, preparing to appear before the tribunal.
