Questions and Answers

Question: Explain where the components of the explosive device's triggering mechanism were located during the transport by you and Timur Batchayev of the manufactured loose explosive material to the city of Volgodonsk?

Answer: I do not know where the components of the explosive device were located during the transport of the manufactured loose explosive material to the city of Volgodonsk. I never saw them once. I do not know whether Timur Batchayev brought them with him or acquired them somewhere on-site in the city of Volgodonsk.

Question: Explain exactly where you crossed the border between Russia and Georgia?

Answer: I cannot specify the exact location where I crossed the border of Russia and Georgia, as I do not know this terrain. I was traveling with Ruslan Gelayev's detachment, and his scouts led us. I can only say that we crossed the border from the territory of Ingushetia in the area of the Assa River bed.
