"....Imad Eddine Barakat Yarkas, the now incarcerated leader of the cell, is accused by Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon of having recruited several militants to train and fight in Chechnya alongside Al Qaeda...."

I suppose it was unfair for me to suggest that you would use google, it is way too complicated for you


Yes, it is unfair for me to have to do your work. Thank you for the link. It doesn't say all that much other than there is a link between al Qa'ida and the Chechen fighters......which is not news to either of us.

Mosnews reported on 5 October that the gov't had announced there are 10 al Qa'ida reps on Russian soil. Hardly the makings of a huge al Qa'ida involvement or a major arm of the jihad.

The two links notwithstanding, I continue to argue that the fight in Chechnya is not about the global jihad but a fight for Chechen independence. Like the US in Iraq, the Russians have created fertile ground for al Qa'ida operatives.

None of which is surprising.......Putin is the Russian Bush.
