Travel and Incident in Pankisi

• Igor (and others) left for Karachay-Cherkessia.
• I and Kuraish joined Ruslan Gelayev's group, traveling on foot through the mountains to the territory of Georgia, specifically Pankisi.
• I mainly lived in the village of Khalatsani.
• A few days ago, I, Batchaev Timur, Khubiev Rashid, Dakhir from the settlement of Narzan in the city of Kislovodsk, along with Kistins Ali and one of his relatives, left Pankisi in an "Opel" car towards the Azerbaijani border.
• Not far from the village of Lagodekhi, a UAZ rammed us, and an assault began.
• During the assault, everyone except me died.

Involvement in Explosives and Terrorism

• I took part in the manufacture and transportation of explosive substances.
• I learned that they were specifically explosives only after transporting them with Batchaev Timur and Dekkushev Adam to the city of Volgodonsk.
• I learned about my involvement in the Moscow explosions only after they occurred, from Dekkushev and Batchaev.
• Regarding the Volgodonsk explosion, I clarify that I was forced to participate under pressure of circumstances.
• I did not participate in choosing the specific place and time, nor was my goal to pressure the authorities or intimidate the population.

Question and Answer Regarding Cell Phones

Question: Explain when, where, and under what circumstances you, together with Dekkushev, purchased cell phones in the city of Kislovodsk, and why did you use the passport data of other persons in doing so?

Answer:

• I, with Dekkushev Adam, purchased two or three cell phones from Dzhattoev Zaur at his firm, located in the building of the "Oktyabr" cinema in the city of Kislovodsk.
• I used passport data received from my acquaintance Igor (whose last name is unknown to me), who was involved in the sale of goods.
• This data was used because when people brought him goods for sale (consignment), they left their data in the contract.
• This was necessary so that if there was an overspending of funds on the phone, there would be no claims against us.
