He already lost two droplets of blood and as reported by Basayev from a secret cave, GOING TO BLEED TO DEATH! Basayev also mentioned that the war will be won soon.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[So the Mohammedan brutes want to take credit for the "number" zero.  Suppose they are right?  So what?  Who should be surprised that members of a cult which worships a false god (Allah the Mecca moon-god)would come up with the consept of a mathematical designation for "nothing".  For their god Allah is nothing. <BR> <BR>On the other other hand, Christendom gave the world the concept of infinity, and this is only appropriate as the God worshipped by the Christians, the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost), is infinite in power, knowledge, and presence. <BR> <BR>Yeah, the big zero for Allah and Mohammed.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Mikhail Arkhipov, acting deputy envoy of the RF government in the Chechen Republic, has hosted today a Mozdok news conference involving Hamid al Hayyat, a former mercenary from Jordan engaged in the Chechnya hostilities.  <BR> <BR> <BR>Hamid al Hayyat&#039;s Russian was fluent enough when he spoke to newsmen. In 1986 to 1992 he studied in Kiev&#039;s polytechnical institute where he made friends with some of North Caucasus residents, the RF governmental envoy&#039;s press service told RIA Novosti.  <BR> <BR> <BR>He came to Chechnya last autumn since his Chechen partners had promised huge profits from restoration of the republic&#039;s satellite communication. Thus he found himself in Gelayev&#039;s grouping and was in it until the March event in the village of Komsomolskoye. Al Hayyat claims that he has never in his life fired a shot - the militants were using him as a carrier.  <BR> <BR> <BR>Being pardoned al Hayyat is no longer in custody. Lawenforcements have checked his words and found he was not engaged in grave crimes, according to the press service.  <BR> <BR> <BR>Hamid told reporters that he got completely disappointed in the Islam propagated by the militants. "They make a loose interpretation of the Koran, using its surahs solely to start a quarrel with another militant grouping". In everyday life, however, the bandits break the Moslem tradition taking drugs, killing adherents of the same faith, said the Jordanian.  <BR> <BR> <BR>Hamid witnessed the militants cut out the heart of a still alive Russian soldier and hang it on a tree.  <BR> <BR> <BR>The final disappointment came when his "brothers-in-arms" left the wounded in Komsomolskoye telling them to blast themselves and otherwise threatening to shoot them.  <BR> <BR> <BR>"Far not all safely left Komsomolskoye, Hamid recalled. I was among the first hundred militants leaving the village but did not know whether I would survive. Later I learned about three hundred fighters killed and nearly 500 heavily wounded who were left to die like dogs. It was when some Chechens and I grew confident that we should surrender and we did it near Urus-Martan".  <BR> <BR> <BR>Hamid al Hayyat called a great number of Arabs, Pakistanis and others who, like himself, have been deceived and now are with Khattab, Basayev and other "field commanders" to lay down arms and go back home to their families.  <BR> <BR> <BR>Hamid&#039;s further destiny is quite clear - being no subject to criminal liability, he is to be repatriated to Jordan]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[KIEV, May 31, 2000 -- (Reuters) Thousands of angry nationalist protesters marched in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Tuesday to demand the expulsion of all Russian-speakers from Ukraine and to protest against the killing of a local composer. <BR> <BR>Local reporters told Reuters by telephone from Lviv that up to 3,000 demonstrators of different ages marched through the center of the town, chanting "Down with the Russians!" and "Death for death!" <BR> <BR>Hundreds of protesters later vandalized a nearby coffee house where popular Ukrainian folk music composer Ihor Bilozir was fatally injured in a brawl with a group of Russian-speaking visitors earlier this month. <BR> <BR>Official reports say that Bilozir, 45, was performing Ukrainian folk songs at a birthday party for one of his friends when the Russian-speaking company, singing vulgar Russian songs, interrupted him. <BR> <BR>Officials, who have reluctantly said that one of the attackers was the son of a senior police officer, described the incident as a drunken brawl with no political or ethnic motives. <BR> <BR>Lviv, with a population of around 800,000, is the heartland of the nationalist movement in the former Soviet republic. <BR> <BR>Many protesters demanded that all Russian-speaking servicemen be sacked from local police and security forces. Others said Russian pop music should be banned from cafes and restaurants. <BR> <BR>The Ukrainian Popular Rukh, a leading nationalist party in parliament, said in a statement that it blamed the country&#039;s leadership for "inaction" and for ignoring the "vandalism of Ukrainian sacred ideals and desecration of the state language". <BR> <BR>Ukrainian is officially the only state language but many among the 50-million nation treasure the continued strong coexistence of Russian and Ukrainian cultures. <BR> <BR>Tens of thousands of people attended Bilozir&#039;s funeral later in the day. Ukraine&#039;s official agency DINAU said the funeral service and a later march were held under the slogan "No language - no nation, no nation - no state!" <BR> <BR>The ceremony passed quietly. <BR> <BR>Spokesmen for the regional administration and police told Reuters the situation in Lviv was "firmly under control" and that no further incidents had taken place.]]></content:encoded>
