And he is not of Chechen extraction. Does not even speak the language, although he can speak some mangled Russian."
Very few Chechens living in Jordan speak the Chechen! The younger generation speaks Arabic! Can't say the same for the Laz and Chechens living on the Black-Sea coastline of Turkey! However, have you spoken to Khattab? Has Khattab given interviews to CNN? Khatab speak Russian? Maybe yes, maybe not! That means nothing! There are soldiers conscripted into the Russian army that don't speak Russians, no big deal!
Remmber that our source of information about Chechnya is Russia! They are master good ar spreadinf misinformation, and lies, there is a specail division in KGB for that! They call Khatab a Vahabi Moslem? My foot! Checehns are Sunni Moslem followers of Nakhashbandi Sufi Doctrine, the same the goes for Abkahzians, Inguscetians, Avars, Lez, Ossets, Kabardinians, Karaq-Chai, Ak-guinlu, Kara-ghuilo, Molsems of Kazanlik across the black-sea in Bulgaria, and Molems of Kosovo! (This sect did spread within the Ottoman Empire in 15 and 16th century.) The Vahabi desert decipline is too harsh to be accepted by the easy going Chechens. It is very convinent for the Kremlin Disinforamtion machinary to brand the Chechens as Vahabi's and connect them to Osama ben Landen, making them sound like bunch of terrorists!
As for Yeltsin, or Russians War Party, this is just he beginning, wait and see!
jbe, When it comes to Russians, I don't believe what I read, or hear, and I beleive half of what I see!
Take care,
