"Medvedev linked the attacks.... to those.... carried out by militants with foreign support"
Yes, the RUSSIANS KNOW about "Al-CIA-Duh" -- and WHY WOULDN'T THEY after their experience in Afghanistan?
"Medvedev denounces Chechen killings; Calls for arrests in killings of 3 rights workers" by Philip P. Pan, Washington Post | August 15, 2009
MOSCOW - President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia declared yesterday that the capture of those responsible for the recent killings of three Chechen human rights workers should be the “paramount task’’ of the nation’s security services.

GROZNY, Russia - Five police officers were shot dead in an ambush in Chechnya, officials said yesterday, the latest in a string of attacks that have undermined the relative calm seen in the province in recent years.
The attack occurred amid growing violence in Russia’s wider North Caucasus region that has pushed local Islamist insurgencies up the Kremlin’s agenda. Late Sunday, militants attacked police cars near the town of Itum-Kale, 40 miles south of the regional capital Grozny, a police spokeswoman said....
In two separate attacks Sunday, three workers from Russia’s Emergency Ministry were gunned down in Ingushetia region, which neighbors Chechnya to the west, and a police officer was shot dead overnight in Dagestan to the east. Chechnya, the scene of two separatist wars since 1994, saw a sharp fall in violence after the Kremlin handed power to former rebel Ramzan Kadyrov in 2007. Rights groups said his forces achieved stability through a campaign of kidnap and torture.
Then he is not an ally of USrael, is he?
--more--"
Would they mention those terrible things if he was?
Medvedev also appeared to signal dissatisfaction with Chechnya’s Kremlin-appointed strongman, Ramzan Kadyrov, a former rebel warlord who has been accused of terrorizing the population.... His demand was made amid a surge of violence in Chechnya and two neighboring provinces, Dagestan and Ingushetia, that left 23 people dead.And WHO would want to DESTABILIZE RUSSIA right now?
WWIII on the way, folks!!!
The bloodshed underscored the Kremlin’s struggle to maintain control of the region against an Islamist insurgency that appears to be gaining momentum. In the deadliest attack, militants burst into a bathhouse Thursday night in the city of Buynaksk in Dagestan and gunned down seven women, authorities said.
This is REALLY beginning to REEK to me.
The attack occurred after the rebels sprayed a nearby police post with gunfire, killing four police officers. Six other police officers and five suspected rebels were reported killed in gun battles in Chechnya and Dagestan on Thursday and yesterday. In Ingushetia, authorities said a woman who made a living telling fortunes was shot to death Thursday by militants who consider the practice a grave sin.
So WHO would want to destabilize Russia, folks?
An American specialist on the region warned in an article this week that Russia’s repressive policies in the North Caucasus had created “fertile ground for terrorist recruiters’’ and represented a threat to US security interests.
Fertile ground for "Al-CIA-Duh," huh?
For the record (for those who are not aware) Bill Clinton USED "Al-CIA-Duh" not only in the Balkans but IN CHECHNYA, too!!!!
“Getting targeted assistance to the region, including job creation, should be of the highest importance to the White House and the State Department, as well as European governments,’’ wrote Sarah Mendelson, director of the human rights and security initiative at Washington’s Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Makes one wonder why the U.S. doesn't give a shit about their own population, doesn't it?
Referring to the unsolved killings of several human rights activists and journalists, Mendelson urged President Obama and European leaders to make clear to Medvedev that “impunity will not be tolerated’’ while pressing him to accept international help to address lawlessness in the region....
Oh, the USraeli globalists want to GET a FOOTHOLD in RUSSIA PROPER now, huh? Just like during WWI!
Medvedev linked the attacks on the human rights workers to those on government officials, and he said they were “aimed at destabilizing the situation in the Caucasus’’ and carried out by militants with foreign support.
Oh, he's a SMART, SMART MAN and PRESIDENT!!
HE KNOWS about "terrorism."!
--more--"
Of course, it is JUST COINCIDENCE that Chechnya is right next to Georgia, right?
And SO ARE THESE PROVINCES!
"2 police officers killed in Dagestan shootings
MAKHACHKALA, Russia --Two policemen were killed in separate sniper attacks in Russia's violent republic of Dagestan on Saturday, authorities said, the latest in three days of bloodshed that has claimed more than 20 lives in the North Caucasus. The first of the shootings took place late Saturday morning at a police post near the central square of Dagestan's capital, Makhachkala, the local Interior Ministry said. One officer died. Another officer was killed in a second attack at a traffic police post on the outskirts of the city, the ministry said.
That is the BRIEF that appeared in my paper.
Here is the rest:
Dagestan lies to the east of Chechnya, the Russian republic where separatists and federal forces fought two full-scale wars over the past 15 years. Although major fighting in Chechnya died down several years ago, small clashes and attacks on police persist there, and both Dagestan and Ingushetia to Chechnya's west are plagued by violence attributed to militants and criminal gangs. The past several days have been especially bloody.
So WHY BRIEF it and REMOVE IT from the WEB VERSION of the paper, Globe?
I'm getting sick of this kind of s***, you censoring sack of swill!
A gang shot to death four police at a checkpoint and seven prostitutes at a bathhouse on Thursday in Dagestan. Three militants were also killed in the province that day. Four policemen and two militants died in a gunbattle near the Chechen capital on Friday and a sniper killed two traffic policemen in the Dagestani capital that day.
Earlier this summer, a bomb attack seriously wounded Ingushetia's president, and top officials were killed in both Dagestan and Ingushetia. The attacks undercut the Kremlin's claims to be restoring peace to the impoverished region after years of war.
Interesting CUI BONO there, huh?
