Terrorists in Chechnya Are Financed through Azerbaijan
Pentagon has revealed documents that testify about Usama bin
Ladenâ~@~Ys plan to move Al Qaeda to Chechnya, as the West will never
bomb Russia. The WorldNet Daily Internet periodical writes about this,
referring to web site of Judicial Watch NGO.
Judicial Watch investigates and persecutes government corruption. In
particular, Tom Fitton, president of the organization, in 2000
wandered why Clinton, former US President, ordered to bomb al Shifa
plant and the neighboring territories of Khost, Afghanistan, where the
training camp of al Qaeda was supposed to be situated. Pentagonâ~@~Ys
investigation states in Fittonâ~@~Ys answer that the investigation of
the Defense Secretary knew about the activities of Usama bin Laden
and his terrorists. One of the striking points of the statement was
the information that there is a stable "direct route from Pakistan
and Afghanistan through Turkey and Azerbaijan to Chechnya" financed
by the terrorists." Fitton insists that Al Qaeda and Azerbaijan are
connected. Referring to Pentagon, he stated that al Qaeda functions
in the Central Asia, too.
This is not the first case when Azerbaijan is accused of having
relations with Usama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. These relations were
established in the mid-1990s. Azerbaijan, according to the data of the
American Congress, is among the 34 countries that have relations with
Al Qaeda. Late Heidar Aliyev had to express his readiness to support
the anti-terrorist war declared by the US government. On October 23,
2002, The Trend Azeri news agency informed that over 3 dozens of
terrorists, members of Al Qaeda, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist
organizations were arrested in Baku and banished to Egypt and other
Arabic states.
The most active among the extremist groups is Islamic Jihad that is
considered to be most important wing of Al Qaeda. In 2000, two members
of Azeri offshoot of Jihad were arrested in London. According to US
State Department, one of the detained was Ibrahim Eydaruz, the head
of the Baku branch of the organization. The latter was involved in
the explosions of the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Before 1999, there were serious proofs that Azerbaijan was used
as a base for al Qaeda. American Associated Press agency informed
on November 14, 1999, that bin Laden participated at least in two
battles of Karabakh war. Itâ~@~Ys worth mentioning that in early 90s
Baku tried to give religious shades to the Karabakh war and get the
support of Islamic extremist organizations.
Bakuâ~@~Ys Ekho newspaper wrote in its September 1s issue, 2001,
that Jamal Ahmed el Fadl, member of Al Qaeda, was arrested with
the accusation of participating in explosions of the US embassies
in Kenya and Tanzania. Jamal Ahmed el Fadl said that al Qaeda had
unfolded serious activities in Azerbaijan since 1989.
The Moscow News weekly wrote in its September 11 issue in 2000,
that Heidar Aliyev hired over 1000 mojahedins for the war against
Karabakh in the summer of 1993. Before Aliyev came to power, Chechen
terrorists were fighting in the war against the Armenians in Karabakh.
Thus, Shamil Basaev said in the interview to Bakuâ~@~Ys ANS TV: "To
tell the truth, I called off my mojahedins from Azerbaijan myself. We
went there (Karabakh) for Jihad only." The terrorist confessed in
the interview that in 1992 he was in Karabakh with his mojahedins
for several times and was among the last terrorists to leave Shushi.
Two Azeri newspapers touched upon the release spread by Pentagon. The
525 Gazette notices in the article entitled "New Accusation against
Azerbaijan" that this is not the first case when an attempt is made
to accuse Azerbaijan of secret cooperation with Al Qaeda. While Yeni
Zaman writes that America tries to press Azerbaijan by spreading such
accusations so that Azerbaijan doesnâ~@~Yt object about the location
of the US military bases in the territory of Azerbaijan.
