Kavkaz-Tsentr
has received a statement by the amir of the Riyad us-Saliheen Islamic
brigade of martyrs in connection with the murder of the former
president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria [CRI], Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev.
A
statement by the amir of the Riyad us-Saliheen Islamic brigade of
martyrs, Abdallah Shamil Abu-Idris [Basayev], in connection with the
death of the former president of the CRI, Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev.
Praise
to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, who became benefactor to us in a Holy War
on His righteous path. Peace and mercy of the Almighty God to His
disciple, His family, His comrades-in-arms and all those who followed
them along the righteous path to the Day of Judgment, and then:
By
the mercy of the Almighty Allah, the glorious son of the Chechen
people, Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, who devoted his whole life to the cause
of the liberation of the Chechen people from the Russian empire, has
become a martyr, Insha Allah! He died from an evil, insidious blow in
the back.
The Kremlin regime has once again shown its true face. When, after the explosion on the Moscow metro, Putin stated hysterically that "Russia
doesn't talk to terrorists, it annihilates them", I knew that he would
inflict his evil strike somewhere, but I did not think that he would
dare to do so on the territory of another state.
Putin and his
clique have demonstrated that they are an integral part and the brood
of the well-known terrorist organizations the Cheka, the NKVD, KGB, FSK
and the FSB.
Putin is now trying to portray himself to the
Russian hordes as some kind of a "hard man", adopting a more familiar
manner, showing his terrorist ways and imperialist ambitions.
Zelimkhan
Yandarbiyev was accused of all the deadly sins and of being implicated
in the events in Dagestan in 1999 and the events at Nord Ost but I can
state with absolute certainty that he had nothing whatever to do,
either directly or indirectly, with the events in Dagestan, and
especially not with what happened at Nord Ost. He did not even know
about them. Movsar Barayev was linked with them only because he had no
links with me.
Barayev and his comrades also telephoned many
others whose numbers they knew in their efforts to contact me. The fact
is that I, through Barayev's deputy Abubakar, received three telephone
numbers which the three groups in Moscow,
with whom I was to have contacted on these numbers, should have had.
They were given to me by Aslanbek Khaskhanov [charged with Nord Ost
hostage taking], who is now in the hands of the special services; he
was a liaison officer. But I was unable to reach them on these numbers
for all these three days, so they phoned around all their friends
trying to contact me. It was precisely in connection with these
circumstances that they phoned Yandarbiyev. So, neither Yandarbiyev,
nor anyone else, had anything to do with these events.
Moreover,
Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev had not taken part in any combat activities since
the beginning of the new invasion by Russian troops, and never dealt in
financial issues. But his truthful word struck the enemy harder than a
bullet, which made the infidels afraid of him, and at the first
opportunity they struck him an evil blow in the back.
I am glad
that Zelimkhan died while on active service, worthily carrying out his
life's work. The mercy of the Almighty Allah is great, and, Insha
Allah, the Almighty will give us new Zelimkhans to take his place and
the Holy War will go on. Allah has given and Allah has taken away,
everything is the will of Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
Allah is Great!

Amir of the Riyad us-Saliheen Islamic brigade of martyrs,
