Guerrillas of Daghestan are threatening Moscow with acts of terror and sabotage

As the Kavkaz-Center Chechen separatist website reports, at a session of the “Shariat” Shura of the Islamic Dzhamaat of Daghestan a resolution was taken concerning the widening of the zone of military operations. In addition to Daghestan, the guerrillas intend to carry out sabotage more actively in the rest of Russia, and also directly in Moscow. “At the session of the “Shariat” Shura of the Islamic Dzhamaat of Daghestan, in accordance with the decree of Amir Abdul-Khalim concerning the transfer of military operations to the territory of Russia, a resolution was taken concerning the dispatch of Daghestani mujahadeen to the territory of Moscow, in order to carry out a series of sabotage operations in the capital city of Russia,” the statement says.

Moreover, the guerrillas do not endorse the promise made by Basayev to avoid carrying out terrorist acts on civilian objectives. “We are coming to Russia for you, and we will get you in your own homes! If necessary, we will attack you and kill you together with your wives and children,” the statement goes on.

The Russian law enforcement agencies have so far made no reaction to the threats of the guerrillas of Daghestan, Gazeta.ru reports.
