Kavkaz News: Russian's Trying To Kill Own General
from....www.chechnya.xnet.is
Last updated: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kavkaz-Tsentr reports: The captured General
Malofeyev is still alive but his medical shape is still
serious because of the injuries he has received during a
Russian bombardment of the place where he is kept. The
Kremlin keeps on trying to kill Malofeyev by attacking the
mountain villages where he is supposed to be imprisoned with
bomber planes and 'Skad' rockets. In Dzhokhar the heavy
fighting continued during the last day. The Russians
attacked in Khankala, in the 56th District, in Staraya
Sunsha, in the Staropromyshlovsky District, near
Chernorechye and near the tinning factory. All these attacks
have been repulsed. According to the leader of the
committee of foreign affairs of the Chechen parliament,
Akhyad Idigov, an official Chechen delegation has arrived at
the Council of Europe. Their aim is to enlighten this
institution on the real situation in Chechnya and to appeal
for the exclusion of Russia. They want to throw light on the
Russian war-crimes: the killing of innocent people, the
robbery and the marauding in the occupied territories. In
this territories concentration camps have been set up, even
special concentration camps for children. The Chechen
delegation's intention is to meet with various delegations
of the Council of Europe.
The Argun Valley is in control
of the Mujahideen. Though the Putin regime has concentrated
40,000 troops there, the Chechens resist all the Russian
attacks there and perform counter-attacks. The last day
about 130 Russian died on this battle field. The Mujahideen
are in control of several important heights near Duba-Yurt.
Yesterday a Russian attack has been repulsed their. In the
Vedeno Valley the situation remains stable. The Mujahideen
have withdrawn from Vedeno two weeks ago in order to occupy
more advantageous positions. But only yesterday the Russians
dared to move into the town. Near Serzhen-Yurt the
Chechens are retaining the military initiative – every
movement of the Russians is stopped by Chechen attacks. In
the fights in the Argun Valley and in the Vedeno Valley 7
mujahideen died during the last
day. ENDS
