But other nationalities are also involved. e.g. Uighurs. How they can be regarded as "freedom fighters and anti-imperialists" is hard to understand. --- The "Chechen fighters" referred to in press releases are actually a motley group of Chechens, Afghans, Uzbeks, Ingush, Arabs, and others, including just plain mercenaries. When Basayev and Khattab attacked Dagestan, their group even had some Ukrainians, Balts and of all things an Ethiopian with German citizenship. They only took the bodies of the dead Chechens home and left the others to rot. Khattab was himself an Arab, as is/was his successor (I can't remember his name), who may have been killed. Why do these "national-liberation fighters" seem to rely so much on foreigners? Hmm. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
