I needed the address of my brother, Ansar Bostanov, who lived in Tsimlyansk near Volgodonsk, to stay at his house and examine the site of the planned explosion in Volgodonsk.
Mukhtar provided me with his brother's phone number.
Timur Batchaev and I traveled to Tsimlyansk in my 'Moskvich' in the first days of September.
When I called the number from Mukhtar in Tsimlyansk, Ansar was not home, according to a woman who answered the phone.
She informed me that I could find Ansar not far from the settlement of Tsimla (I do not recall the exact location).
I went there and found Ansar collecting scrap metal.
Ansar bought a sheep, we went to his house, and ate meat in the evening. Ansar was very drunk, and we spent the night at his place.
Subsequent Events
I do not remember precisely, but it seems that either on the way to Ansar's or afterward, I stopped at a car repair station at the exit from Volgodonsk to repair something in the car.
On the way to Ansar's, I showed Timur the dam while we were driving across it.
After visiting Ansar, we went to Kislovodsk. There, over several days, we purchased a 'KAMAZ' and potatoes to conceal the explosives. I have already given testimony regarding this.
When the truck was loaded, we departed for Volgodonsk in the evening.
I drove ahead in the 'Moskvich', while Yoska and Timur followed me in the 'KAMAZ' carrying the explosives.
I spent the night near the motor pool where the explosives were later transferred from the 'KAMAZ' to a GAZ-53.
In the morning, I went to meet the 'KAMAZ' at a parking lot on the outskirts of the city, as we had arranged.
At the same service station mentioned earlier, I had installed an alarm on the 'Moskvich'. This station was located in the 'old town' near the parking lot where I was waiting for the 'KAMAZ'.
I was worried because the 'KAMAZ' had not yet arrived.
