Our correspondent has checked whether information concerning the withdrawal of the additional contingent of internal troops deployed in Ingushetiya in September and October of 2007 corresponds to reality. Travelling to all sites where troops are based in Malgobek, Nazran, the settlements of Alkhasty, Magas, the Cossack village of Ordzhonikidzevskaya, he became convinced that the troops remain in place and their quantity has not been reduced. Moreover, a certain build-up in the alignment of forces is observed. Thus, in Malgobek in the square at the People’s Assembly, where an entire field camp with fields was set up, today extra subunits of troops have arrived, who are settling near to the former camp. Also, twelve extra military “Urals” have driven into the town.
