Official information
One of last week’s important events was the extended session of the ChRI Parliament, Cabinet of Ministers and the ChRI honorary consuls held in Brussels, Belgium, attended by international human rights activists and representatives of the ChRI Islamic clergy. The session’s participants discussed key issues of the ChRI foreign and domestic policies.
According to the Speaker of the ChRI Parliament ' the main task today is to raise to the required level our political and ideological work in order to explain to the international community the key points of our domestic and foreign policies. These policies will be in strict accordance with the ChRI Constitution and in line with the important political agendas set at the time by the heroic leaders of the Chechen state who have all become ‘shakhids’ (Insh’Allah) - Dzhokhar Dudaev, Zelimkhan Yandarbiev, Aslan Maskhadov and Abdul-Khalim Sadulaev.’
Similarly important was the representative conference in Ankara, dedicated to the problems of Chechnya and the whole of the North Caucasus. Many issues discussed at the conference dealt with the military and political consequences of the declaration of the Caucasus Emirate for the Chechen Republic of Ichkeriya. The General Representative of the ChRI in Muslim countries Said Askhabov sought to explain these issues to the participants. He stated that the declaration of the Caucasus Emirate in violation of all the legal norms and principles of Islam was a well-directed provocation on the part of a certain group of people who had an interest in splitting the ranks (introducing a fitna) of the Resistance and in depriving the Chechen people of the legitimate basis of its opposition to the Russian aggressors. He adduced specific facts which demonstrated that the group of provocateurs who had masterminded the Caucasus Emirate was acting under the influence and direct guidance of the Russian special services, despite its religious rhetoric.

According to Chechen sources, units of Emir Makhran - the Tsentoroy sector of the ChRI Armed Forces - and of Emir Khanif – the Kurchaloev sector of the ChRI Armed Forces attacked Russian occupying forces in the Nozhaj-Yurt region of the ChRI on 10 April 2008. The Chechen mujahadeen struck the terrorists from an ambush, having blown up the convoy and fired at it from machine and submachine guns. According to the data of the ChRI Armed Forces Command four Russian bandits were destroyed and another three wounded during the operation. There were no casualties among the Chechen mujahadeen.
Sources from the ChRI report that a mobile subversive group from the Shalin sector of the ChRI Armed Forces under the command of Amir Khussein, blew up an UAZ car with members of the ‘OMON’ band on 7 April 2008. The blast resulted in the destruction of two ‘omonovtsy’ and in the wounding of another two. No other details have been reported.
Three Russian terrorists from an ‘MVD’ (Ministry of the Interior) band and another accomplice from a puppet police formation came under fire near the village of Nesterovskaya on 6 April 2008. According to occupiers’ sources, the mujahadeen had opened fire at the armoured ‘Ural’ car and the APC in the forested area adjacent to the Assa river. The ‘OVD’ and ‘MVD’ collaborators who had come to the aid of the attacked cars were also fired at. The skirmish resulted in three Russian bandits and one collaborators being wounded. There might have been more casualties, however, because the occupying forces’ command does not usually provide accurate information.
According to a source in the Staff of the Northern Front of the ChRI Armed Forces, under the command of Emir Daud, a unit of Chechen mujahadeen attacked a base of the national traitor’s ‘oil regiment’ band in the evening of 3 April 2008. According to the source, the mujahadeen opened fire using their submachine guns, machine guns and grenade launchers. The battle lasted over half an hour. The attack resulted in several occupiers’ accomplices killed and wounded. The source does not provide exact figures. It is also reported that two mujahadeen were slightly wounded in the skirmish.
Russian punitive troops continue the practice of rounding up Chechen citizens
According to the information received from the Chechen human rights activists, officers of the Russian punitive bodies detained a middle-aged man of about 55-56 years of age on 1 April 2008 in the village of Shikaroj of the Shatoj region of the ChRI. This information had come from the detainees’ village neighbours. It is claimed that the bandits had searched the detained man’s house. It is not clear what had motivated the detention of the Shikaroj resident.
Officers of the occupiers’ agencies carried out a scheduled ‘targeted special operation’ in the village of Mesker-Yurt in the Shalin region of the ChRI on 24 March 2008. The punitive ‘action’ resulted in the detention of one of the village residents accused of having links with Chechen fighters.
This information was passed on by the neighbours of the detainee. His surname and circumstances of his detention are being ascertained.
A resident of the village of Bamut in the Achkhoj-Martan region of the ChRI has reported the detention of his neighbour - a twenty seven year old man - who was apprehended by officers of the Russian occupation agencies in the village of Ordzhonikidzevskaya of the Sunzhen region of Ingushetiya several days ago. At the request of the source the surname of the detained has been kept secret. The bandits had accused the man of helping Chechen fighters.
According to Russian sources, an armed man fired at a woman from his submachine gun in the town of Urus-Martan.. It is reported that the armed man, masked and in camouflage fired at the woman from a passing car.
