Khloponin does not believe in terrorism

The presidential envoy in the North Caucasus, Alexander Khloponin, is convinced that the attack in Stavropol is the result of criminal redistribution of property and is not related to terrorism. “Now in the North Caucasus we have a common picture characteristic of Russia of the 90s,” the envoy said on May 27 at a meeting in Essentuki. - This is the redistribution of property, the corruption of the authorities participating in this redistribution, gang show. We passed this in the 90s. We see that sometimes these redistributions are submitted under the guise of ethnic conflicts and terrorism. ” “It is quite possible to cope with those bandits who run through the forest without introducing the regime of a counter -terrorist operation,” Khloponin developed his thought on May 28 in an interview with Rossiy Gazeta. The explosion at the Palace of Culture and Sports in Stavropol thundered on the evening of May 26. The tragedy took the lives of 7 people, 38 were hospitalized. The investigation has no doubt that what happened is precisely a terrorist attack. According to the security forces, in 2009 the number of terrorist crimes in the North Caucasus increased by a third compared to 2008. In 2010, a negative trend remains. According to the Center "Memorial", after the cancellation of the regime who began to kill the security forces in Chechnya, almost twice as often. However, the plenipotentiary thinks with peaceful categories: among the priority projects declared by him, the “All -Caucasian Youth Camp” type “Seliger”.
