  • Question: Do you have any objection to the use of video recording during your interrogation?

  • Question: Describe in detail the circumstances of the transportation of the explosive substance manufactured by you from the village of Mirny to the city of Kislovodsk to the "Realbaza" warehouses in August 1999?
    • Answer: Together with Yoska (Yusuf Krymshamkhalov), we were driving ahead of the "Kamaz". Approaching the GAI post at the entrance to the city of Kislovodsk, I stopped the car. At the GAI post, Yoska talked to the policeman Lyubichev. When the "Kamaz" was passing the post, Lyubichev told another policeman to let the "Kamaz" vehicle pass and not to stop it. At that moment, the "Kamaz" passed through the GAI post and stopped behind the post. Yoska got into the "Kamaz" truck, and Lyubichev got into my car, and I followed the "Kamaz". Then we arrived at "Realbaza". The "Kamaz" stopped before reaching "Realbaza". Yoska took a sack of sugar out of the "Kamaz" and put it in the trunk of my car. Then Yoska got into the "Kamaz" and drove onto the territory of "Realbaza". At Lyubichev's request, I took him in a "Moskvich" car to the Central Market of the city of Kislovodsk. Lyubichev carried the sack of sugar to the market and returned after some time. Upon returning, Lyubichev asked me to take him to work. I drove Lyubichev to the GAI building.
