Recommendations

• Conduct a comprehensive investigation of the episode involving the discovery of explosive devices in Kapotnya and on Borisovskie Ponds. In particular, find out who and under what circumstances reported these addresses. Request and listen to tape recordings of reports from September 13, 1999, in the duty services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ambulance, and rescue services.
• Find out which law enforcement units responded to these signals. Establish the reasons why, after the discovery of 6 ready-to-use explosive devices on Borisovskie Ponds, an ambush was not set up there to detain the terrorists, but instead information was given to the media.
• Establish Achimez Gochiyayev's mobile phone number and obtain call logs. Find out who called him around five o'clock in the morning on September 9, 1999.
• Interview Achimez Gochiyayev's acquaintances in Moscow to establish his whereabouts from September 8 to 13, 1999, and to assess his psychological state at the time of the terrorist attacks.
• Check whether Achimez Gochiyayev's company "Kapstroy 2000" was registered in Moscow. Study Achimez Gochiyayev's business operations in Moscow starting from June 1999. In particular, check the mineral water deal, which, according to Achimez Gochiyayev, was concluded with a person he considers an "FSB agent" and who used him "blindly."
• Interview Achimez Gochiyayev's acquaintances, relatives, and employees to identify the person he calls the initiator of the basement rentals.
• Confirm Achimez Gochiyayev's biographical data specified in the explanation.

Achimez Gochiyayev, who is an important witness to the terrorist attacks, must be interrogated by independent and impartial investigators.
