Testimony

Near the military camp there was a small brick building in the form of a canteen. On its edge stood a mill; I didn't go in there myself. I don't know what they did at this mill or who worked there. I wasn't interested in that.

Question: Are you aware that an improvised explosive based on ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder was produced at this mill?

Answer: No, I know nothing about that. As I said, I didn't pay attention to this mill.

Question: What do you know about what cargo a person known to you as Saleh brought in the summer of 1999 to the house of Zukhra Karabasheva in the village of Mirny, where the explosive was produced?

Answer: As far as I remember, Saleh came in a "KAMAZ" together with Hakim Abaev twice. He brought sugar bags with some substance. I was told it was ammonium nitrate. A plastic bag was inserted into this bag so that the mixture would not spill. The bag itself was tied, not sewn. The nitrate was finely ground; its color was light. I didn't see the arrival of Saleh and Hakim myself; I only saw the bags stacked by the shed. In some bags, the mixture was compressed into a lump, as it was visible that the bags had solid contents. Then this mixture was mixed with aluminum powder, after which it became crumbly. This mixture strongly attracted moisture, so we were in a hurry to pack it into bags.

Earlier in interrogations, I said that Hakim Abaev brought the nitrate, without mentioning Saleh, because I was sure that it was Hakim who got it, and Saleh was used only as a driver.
