Kavkaz-Tsentr reports:
More reports about mass
atrocities and sadistic torture in the Russian concentration
camp of Chernokozovo are being received.
Prisoners,
having miraculously escaped from the concentration camp,
report things no ordinary human brain can imagine. The
guards, having lost all human nature, are committing satanic
ritual murders of the prisoners. Ibragim Vakhayev from
Urus-Martan, an eye-witness to the bestial crimes of the
Kremlin regime, reports that raping of victims tortured to
death is a common and regular practice in
Chernokozovo.
The rape of the corpses is practiced in
full view of other prisoners. The guards wear black masks.
After these acts of necrophilia the guards announce to the
prisoners who the next victim is going to be.
Ibragim
Vakhayev confirms that he witnessed the murder of a 10-year-
old boy whose name hid doesn't know. The corpse was raped by
five guards with black masks, cut to pieces afterwards and
put into a plastic sack. The Prosecutor general of the ChRI
has made it known that special inquiries about the mass
atrocities in the concentration camp of Chernokozovo are
made.
After several unsuccessful efforts to move towards
the River Arzh-Akhk the Russians are concentrating their
forces around Elistanzhi and are transporting more troops
into the combat zone.
Since yesterday stabilized fighting
has been taking place in this region. Along with this,
according to Chechen scouts, assault units of the Russians
and heavy tanks are preparing for an attack on the Chechen
positions.
The Chechen mujahideen are applying the
tactics of mobile defense and are attacking the enemy
regularly. During the last 24 hours they did this twice,
killing 60 Russians and destroying 2 armoured vehicles. No
reports on Chechen casualties.
The Russians are moving
towards the River Vashtar Valley in the course of regrouping
and reinforcing their units at the entrance to the Argun
Valley. North of the River Vashtar fighting has continued
for three days. Russian units have occupied a commanding
height and are shelling the bed of the river
intensively.
Mobile special units of the mujahideen are
attacking the Russians uninterruptedly. Several advance
units of the Chechen mujahideen managed to occupy one of the
commanding heights.
According to the Chechen command the
combat actions in this region are becoming fiercer every
day.
Yesterday evening in the southern region of Chechnya a meeting of Chechen commanders was held under the chairmanship of President Maskhadov. Vice-president Vakha Arsanov and all well-known commanders (among them Shamil Basayev) took part in it. Journalists were not able to receive any information on the subjects discussed during this meeting.

Kavkaz-Tsentr reports:
The Chechens attacked the
Russians near Elistanzhi. The fighting continues there. The
mujahideens' main forces are defending the line of the River
Arzh-Akhk and special units are advancing to the outskirts
of the village of Elistanzhi, which is occupied by the
Russians.
The major combat action has taken place near
the former holiday camp for three days. The mujahideen
attacked an advancing tank column there moving towards the
River Arzh-Akhk. Having knocked out the tank at the head of
the column, the mujahideen managed to destroy another 4
armoured vehicles. Several trucks with munitions were
destroyed with mortar fire. At least 70 Russians were
killed. The mujahideen lost 4 men.
Kavkaz-Tsentr's
correspondent in Kadahar reports that the leadership of the
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has appealed to the whole
Muslim world to declare jihad against the Russian crusaders
and to break off all relations with Russia.
Participation in this jihad is considered an obligation
for the whole Muslim world.
The leadership of
Afghanistan calls on the non-Muslim world to cease its
politics of double standards and to exert pressure on the
Kremlin regime in order to stop the mass murder in
Chechnya.
Fighting near the River Vashtar. According to
the Chechen command the Russians, not having succeeded in
breaking through the Chechen positions at the entrance to
the Argun Valley, have now directed a part of their forces
to the valley of the River Vashtar east of the Argun Valley.
Advance formations of the Russian moved there from the
direction of Chiri-Yurt, not approaching the positions of
the Chechen mujahideen. Having occupied one of the heights
several kilometres north of the River Vashtar the aggressors
started to shell the valley. Units of the mujahideen moved
towards the Russians and attacked them. This morning the
fighting continued. The Russians are using heavy mortars,
attack helicopters, rocket launchers and aviation.
The
Chechen fighters are mainly using light mortars and
automatic grenade launchers.
More and more prisoners in
the Russian concentration camp of Chernokozovo report
satanic crimes committed by the Putinists and Kremlin
mercenaries.
According to these eye-witnesses the guards
of the concentration camp, while torturing the prisoners,
frankly admit belonging to a satanic movement and that their
task is the physical and moral destruction of Muslims. The
higher-up guards, calling themselves officers, frankly admit
that they were ordered by the Kremlin to physically destroy
not less then 150 thousand Chechen young people and women.
Prisoners report that not less than 200 children, aged
between 10 and 15, are kept in the camp and are subjected to
maiming and satanic torture.
The Russians have cut off
the fingers, noses and ears of hundreds of prisoners. Many
inmates's feet and hands are cut off - they die several days
later.
According to Daud Rizvanov from Shali, a prisoner
who escaped from the camp, the Russian guards, intoxicated
by vodka and narcotics, even cut off pieces of the bodies of
still living people, boil these pieces and eat them before
the eyes of the other prisoners. They did this with the body
the 17-year-old Aslan Supyanov from Maas. It is reported
that the guards torture their victims to death by ramming
empty sub-machine gun cartridges into their bodies.
Afterwards they often rape the
corpses.
