Dagestan Insurgents Offered a Dialog
In Dagestan, the integrated control of the bandit underground has been destroyed with most of the leaders killed, vowed Major General Sergey Solodovnikov, first deputy chief of the RF Internal Ministry’s Main Department for South Federal District. As to the remaining militants, the major general suggested urging them to voluntary ground arms. If appears the August amnesty for Chechen insurgents spearheaded by Federal Security Service Director Nikolay Patrushev has been extended to Dagestan.
In Dagestan, only some Wahhabi leaders have survived. They attempt to assemble a few young people in the Buinak direction and in the southern Dagestan, Major General Solodovnikov said. The Wahhabi underground in Chechnya’s bordering Khasavyurt district has been wiped out in part and in whole. This region is thought the toughest, as more than 100,000 Chechens-Akins live there. The death of Gulik Abdulayev, the last of seven emirs recently killed in Khasavyurt was the end to emirs in the district, Solodovnikov vowed.
The whereabouts of other leaders of Dagestan insurgents are no secret, according to major general. “We will be in dialog with the remaining militants.” Those who voluntary surrender “will be interrogated, and I hope, pardoned.” Solodovnikov promised, not meaning the insurgents involved in the bloodshed.
The location of Dagestan insurgents’ leader Rappani Khalilov is known approximately, Solodovnikov said. “He is somewhere in the border areas of Dagestan. He doesn’t advance to the republic. He is well aware he will be jailed or killed there,” the major general pointed out.
