I did not want to carry out an explosion at the market, as many people could have died as a result.
Having returned to Kislovodsk, I made an agreement with the cousin of Iskhak Temirliev, who lives in the village of Sary-Tyuz, that I would buy a KAMAZ from him, but would pay the money later.
He agreed, and then Timur Batchaev drove this vehicle to Kislovodsk.
There, after Gochiyayev took part of the prepared explosive substance, a certain number of sacks remained (I don't remember exactly how many).
They were in the back of an old KAMAZ, which we, as I have already shown above, took from a Karachay man from the Mirny settlement near Kislovodsk.
Yoska and Timur Batchaev reloaded all the sacks into the KAMAZ bought from Temirliev's brother and sprinkled potatoes on top.
After that, I in a "Moskvich", and Yoska and Timur in the KAMAZ, left for Volgodonsk.
There, at a parking lot belonging to a Russian man whose name I do not remember, we purchased a GAZ-53 truck and reloaded all the sacks into it.
Batchaev refused my idea to blow up the dam, because it was impossible to leave a car on it as it would immediately attract attention.
Under his, as well as Yoska's, pressure, I agreed to leave the car near some residential building.
In addition, this decision was influenced by the fact that at that time the apartment bombings in Moscow had already occurred and law enforcement agencies had established that Gochiyayev was involved in them.
In connection with this, the police began to show increased attention to cars with license plates from the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.
Including, as I learned from an old man working at the parking lot where we stopped, who had a son who was a policeman, our KAMAZ also began to arouse interest.
After this, I told the man from whom we bought the GAZ-53 to leave the vehicle with the cargo near his house.
