'Argun Sabbath' started a day earlier

Last
Saturday at about 21:30 (9:30 PM) Jokhar Time Commander of the Argun
Sector of CRI Armed Forces Amir (Commander) Salah contacted Kavkaz
Center editorial staff over the satellite phone and reported the
details of the combat operation that the Chechen troops carried out in
the city of Argun Friday June 6.
- Russian sources reported discrepant information about the battle in Argun. What really happened?
Early
in the morning on June 3 a large group of Munafiqs (hypocrites,
national traitors) and Russian Kafirs (infidels) secretly approached
the home of one of our Mujahideen and tried to capture him. At that
time another one of our fighters was with him. They put up resistance
and became Shaheeds, killing four Russian Kafirs.
After that
happened we convoked the Military Shura (Council) and adopted a special
plan of the retaliatory combat operation. We also developed a whole
complex of measures in case a similar incident occurs.
According
to our information, Kafirs and Munafiqs were supposed to conduct a
punitive operation in Argun on Saturday. Therefore we called our
retaliatory operation «The Argun Sabbath» («The Argun Subbotnik»). But
they came on Friday afternoon. A large group of Munafiqs from the
so-called special police force (OMON) entered Argun in order to conduct
a «cleansing». We met them as we were planning to.
On
the road coming from Gudermes our Mujahideen attacked their motorized
column consisting of 10-12 vehicles. Eight vehicles were destroyed and
their crews killed in the attack – four Russian-made LADA (Zhiguli) 99
model, two Niva jeeps and a UAZ minivan. At the same time another group
of our fighters attacked national traitors from an ambush in downtown
Argun. That’s where the so-called deputy commander of the invaders’ troops was killed. Moreover, we have destroyed two vehicles in the center of the city.
Another
group of our fighters ambushed Russian Kafirs on the road coming from
Shali. A UAZ minivan and a Ural cargo vehicle were destroyed and
everybody on board killed. Then a column of armored vehicles and trucks
showed up. Our Mujahideen attacked again. Two BMP personnel carriers
and several automobiles were destroyed in that attack. Everybody inside
the personnel carriers and everybody sitting on the armor were killed.
The main combats started at three o’clock our time on Friday and continued until 9 PM.
The battles were going on virtually all across the city. We were
finding the Kafirs and Munafiqs and attacking them. After that we
withdrew to our home base.
According to our calculations, on
that day we managed to eliminate 80 to 90 of Russian Kafirs and
national traitors and destroy about 15 units of all sorts of military
vehicles – automobiles and armored vehicles.
- The
invaders' sources claim that many Mujahideen were killed in the battle
– fourteen fighters, and they estimated they lost four men.
It
is not true. Let them show one single Mujahid who was killed. Insha
Allah (God Willing), no one was even wounded on our side. Except for
the two Mujahideen who became Shaheeds on June 3, we had no other
casualties on our side.
About 25-30 out of the total casualties
that Kafirs and Munafiqs incurred was their own fault. They were in
panic shooting at one another not knowing where the Mujahideen were.
What’s more, Argun commandant’s office of Russian Kafirs refused to
back up their troops and they did not come out of their covers, even
though the command in Khankala was constantly demanding that they
engage in the combat. We heard that. But they refused. They did not
fire a single shot.
I am stating one more time that about 50 of Russian Kafirs and about 40 Munafiqs were killed in the battle in Argun on Friday.
On
one of the «Zhiguli» cars that we destroyed we wrote a message to
Munafiqs and Kafirs: «This is a warning to you. For each of our
Mujahideen you will be dying in dozens…»
- What is the overall military situation in Chechnya?
Insha
Allan, everything is going as planned. Right now, when I’m talking to
you over the phone, I can hear over the radio that a shooting in Old
Atagi is going on and a combat is going on in Ahkinchu-Borz. It is 21:45.
They are requesting a backup. I can hear Kadyrov’s son giving an order
over the radio to the national traitors not to get out of their covers.
I think there Kafirs and Munafiks will suffer serious casualties».
