Wednesday 22 March 2000 Fierce In-fighting Erupts Between Russian Units near the Chechen-Dagestan Border

Fierce in-fighting has erupted between rival Russian units in the village of Saljee, near the Chechen-Dagestan Border.
Helicopter gunships and bomber jets participated in what has been one of the serious cases of internal physical violence between frustrated Russian Army units. Scores of Russian soldiers were killed on both sides.

The Russian Army continues to think that it has completely surrounded and liberated the entire Argun Gorge and it maintains that the only remaining Mujahideen resistance is in the Southern Mountains. However, the fact of the matter is, as known by the Russian Generals but concealed by the Russian Media, that Mujahideen units are scattered all over the Southern Mountains and the Argun Gorge, but the Russian Army is too frightened to face them or enter their caves or mountains due to the heavy losses that they have had during the last month: the Blessed Month of Zhul-Hijj. On the contrary, these Mujahideen units have actually
surrounded the Russian Army in this region.

Praise be to Allah, immediately following the successful Mujahideen withdrawal from Shatoi and Vedeno, numerous Mujahideen units were despatched all over Southern Chechnya. Preparations are under way now to launch offensive operations against the Russian Forces that will limit their mobility within Southern Chechnya.

According to the Russians, the War in Chechnya was meant to have finished in December 1999. Until now, the Russians have failed to provide the World with concrete answers why their plans have been delayed by almost four whole months. Every week, we hear the same empty slogans from the Russian Generals that they will 'wipe out the bandits within two days' and 'the War is drawing to a close'. This also raises the question why the Russian Army has already started to withdraw some of its troops from Chechnya and Putin is now willing to negotiate with the 'bandits'.

The answer from the Mujahideen will come very soon, insha-Allah, in a language that the Russian Forces understand and respect.

Amen!!!

US faces war with ex-KLA

Pentagon braced for bloodshed
after raids on guerrillas

US troops should prepare for battle
with the former soldiers of the Kosovo
Liberation Army, officials in
Washington are warning.

A year after Nato launched a bombing
campaign to rescue the KLA,
Pentagon commanders have formally
alerted the US military that it expects
to have to engage its former allies 'this
spring'.

This comes as senior officials in the
Defence Department continue to fight
plans to send further reinforcements
into what many consider a potential
war zone.

The grim prognosis for the restive
province has emerged days before the
first anniversary of Nato's bombing
raids against Yugoslavia after
Slobodan Milosevic's refusal to
negotiate over Kosovo.

It arises amid increasing tension
between Washington and Nato
commanders in Brussels over the
peacekeeping operation in Kosovo.

US military officials and Western
diplomats based in Pristina, Kosovo's
edgy capital, say there is evidence
that Albanian insurgents are bent on
stirring trouble in southern Serbia, on
the province's eastern boundary. They
say they must be stopped now if
bloodshed across the entire region is
to be averted - not least in
Macedonia, where conflict could easily
trigger a much wider conflagration.

Diplomatic sources in Pristina warn
that the extremists, who call
themselves the Liberation Army of
Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac
(UCPMB) - named after the three
Albanian-inhabited towns in southern
Serbia's Presevo valley - should
expect more US raids on strongholds
of ethnic Albanian guerrillas of the sort
conducted last week.

Weapons, ammunition and a supply
cache were seized in the raids, aimed
at stopping guerrillas from using
Kosovo's US-controlled sector as a
launching pad for cross-border strikes
on Serbia. Analysts believe some 800
men have enrolled with the
well-armed UCPMB, formed to
'protect' an estimated 70,000
Albanians living in Serbia within 15
kilometres of the Kosovo border.

'There is scope for great trouble. The
next three months will be crucial in
determining whether Kosovo is going
to be a short-term success or a
millstone around the neck of the
international community,' said one
European Union diplomat. 'We should
expect to see more operations by US
troops against guerrilla camps in the
coming weeks. Frankly Nato is very
frustrated that it can't go into Presevo
and ensure the peace, that all it can
do is seal the border.'

Talking to The Observer on Friday, a
Pentagon official said the 'personal
security' of US troops would be among
'elements that need looking at' before
any manpower boost. The official said
the Defence Department is operating
on the premise that 'an armed conflict
situation with the KLA is much more
likely now than has been the case'.
One official just returned from Kosovo
told US Defence Secretary William
Cohen on Wednesday that the
intervention was at a 'decisive
moment' and back at 'ground zero' a
year after it began.

The situation of US troops was
'precarious', said the official. 'This has
got to cease and desist, and if not,
ultimately it is going to lead to
confrontation between ethnic
Albanians and K-For.'

Other officials told the New York
Times that 'troops could not keep the
peace between Serbs and Albanians
within Kosovo and seal Kosovo's
borders'. They added that last week's
raid by the US military on KLA
command posts and arms caches was
a 'first step' to rein in the Kosovo
Albanians. 'This was the first time,' said
one official, 'that we went after
something like an organised military
infrastructure as opposed to searching
houses where we suspected someone
was holding a rifle or two.'

'There is an old American saying that
"when the wood creaks, out come the
freaks", but there is no way we are
going to tolerate any trouble this
spring,' said a US officer. 'We are very
serious.'

In Washington, however, the tough
Pentagon talk is at odds with the
cautious optimism of James Rubin, the
US Under-Secretary of State who
returned from Kosovo to say: 'We do
not believe we are drifting towards a
conflict with Kosovo Albanian
insurgents.' Rubin believed there was a
'deep reservoir of respect, thanks and
goodwill towards the United States'
among ethnic Albanians.

Rubin did, however, qualify his words
with a warning that 'it would be a grave
mistake to challenge American troops'.

A senior Pentagon officer countered:
'We have now fired the first shot at the
Albanian insurgents and insurgents
have a tendency to carry a grudge. If
they come to see us as an enemy then
[the raid] will be seen as a turning
point.'

What is this effing obsession with CNN?
They are crap! ..And also not the only source
of news in the "west". Most of us can't
afford satelite TV!!!!

Igor, you might want to re-check the source you got that fighter story from because I don't think Lockheed even manufactures jet-fighter aircraft anymore. Anyway not much from me today later.

igor, then again I might be thinking its Grumman that doesn't manufactures such aircraft anymore.

You're probably right about the judge. What was he doing there in the first place?;;o) A sheaism.
The judicial system sucks then.
* An excerpt: For many, this picture has become a symbol of the horrors of the Bosnian war - 'Belsen '92' as one British newspaper headline captioned the photograph (Daily Mirror, Aug. 7, 1992). But that image is misleading.
* Ed Vulliamy's first article on Trnopolje was published in The Guardian on Aug. 7, 1992, the morning after the ITN pictures had been broadcast for the first time. Vulliamy had probably not seen the edited ITN broadcast when he wrote it. This article did not mention the barbed wire fence, and stated that Trnopolje should not be called a concentration camp. Vulliamy presented quite a balanced view of the situation in the camp, quoting Muslim refugees who reported that no force had been used against them, that the place offered them a certain security, and that they would not know where to go otherwise
* Great idealism.

THE FORGOTTEN ONES_____________ Children in Balkans 'Endangered'
The Associated Press
Tuesday, March 21, 2000; 11:29 a.m. EST

GENEVA –– Ethnic hatred, war and sanctions have combined to make the children of the Balkan region "the most endangered in Europe," the head of the U.N. children's agency said Tuesday.

In a statement one year after NATO began bombing Yugoslavia, Carol Bellamy said the prospects for the region remained poor unless adults ended the ethnic hatred and violence "that so insidiously shadow every new generation."

The U.N. Children's Fund estimates that poverty in Yugoslavia has doubled since last year's conflict, with nearly two-thirds of the population living below the poverty line.

A shortage of heating oil due to sanctions has meant that schools have had to reduce their hours still further, after closing early last summer because of fighting and reopening late because the classrooms were being used to house displaced people.

More than 200,000 Serbs, Roma and other ethnic minorities have fled Kosovo since June 1999, and there are more than 500,000 refugees who have not returned to their homes since they fled fighting in Croatia and Bosnia between 1991 and 1995, UNICEF said.

It added that young people in Kosovo were getting caught up in organized crime and drug trafficking, or were being forced to work on the streets, while more than 110 children have been killed or injured by land mines or unexploded bombs.

Bellamy said there were some encouraging signs, such as the agreement between Bosnian and Croat leaders to allow 4,000 refugees to return to their homes in the next three months, and the massive humanitarian relief effort over the past year.

But overall prospects for children remained in doubt, with violations of child rights ranging from repression and violence to displacement and economic recession, she said.

One year after NATO's bombing campaign, "the environment for children is troubling, particularly in Yugoslavia but throughout the region," Bellamy said.

"Children need peace and a sense of security in order to develop to the fullest of their potential. Real peace is what is lacking in the region right now."

Gonzo the plane is built by Sukhoi

The Prosecutor's Office intends to bring a charge against "field commander" Salautdin Timirbulatov under several articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: Article 105 Part 2 - Murder; 208 - Organisation of an illegal armed unit; 222 - Illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, keeping, transportation or wearing weapons, ammunition, explosives and explosive devices. If Timirbulatov's guilt is proved even under the first of these articles, Murder, he will face life imprisonment.


RIA Novosti was told about it by press secretary of the Main Directorate of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation for the North Caucasus Sergei Prokopov. He said that in the cause of the investigation the number of articles will increase. Later, possibly, he will be accused also of gangsterism and kidnapping.


This militant videotaped his killings of Russian soldiers, and the videotapes of these executions were spread in many copies. Several years ago one of the cassettes fell into the hands of the Russian law enforcement bodies.


In February 1997 the Caucasian Inter-Regional Prosecutor's Office launched a criminal case in connection with a murder but at that time the performer of the execution could been identified. Today the North Caucasian Main Directorate of the General Prosecutor's Office is working on this criminal case. Apart from working with Timirbulatov, the investigators are trying to find out the role of his associates in committing crimes.


Forty-year-old Timirbulatov, who personally took part in shooting down Russian soldiers, was detained on Monday in Chechnya by staff-members of the Russian Interior Ministry in the course of the Vikhr-Anti-terror operation.

Several years ago Major General Kharchevsky, together with a few other fighter jet pilots, went to the United States (as well as to South Africa) for a military training. Not exactly visiting. Though, as a part of this training he and other students flew a number of mock dogfights. Since that time a lot of things happened. MIG is as good as dead now and Sukhoi, as it seems, is discontinuing the entire Su-xx line in favor of developing a stealth.
