The leader of the Chechen separatists Aslan Maskhadov and the Arab mercenary Abu Al-Valid received $ 3 million to organize the disruption of the President of Chechnya. This was stated by Interfax on Tuesday by a representative of the regional operational headquarters for managing a counter -terrorism operation in the North Caucasus (Rosh) Colonel Ilya Shabalkin.
“It is known that the main means with which the leaders of illegal armed groups will try to disrupt the elections will be terrorist attacks against civilian objects and the population, since they are practically not protected,” Shabalkin said.
Representative Rosh noted that for the attacks of the international terrorists will also bet on suicide bombers. "This is evidenced by the recently committed in Chechnya and in the regions of Russia, as well as in various countries of the world, terrorist attacks using suicide bombers," said Ilya Shabalkin.
In addition, he said that, according to some former militants, a camp for the training of female suicide bombers acts in the mountainous part of one of the countries neighboring with Russia. “Allegedly there are more than ten women who are ready to carry an explosive device to the object where it will be indicated,” the representative of Rosh said.
He emphasized that federal forces and law enforcement agencies carefully check this kind of information and take the necessary measures to prevent terrorist attacks.
