Forensic Findings

Forensic units of the FSB of Russia, the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs (GUVD) of the city of Moscow, and the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation continue scientific and technical research of physical evidence seized from the crime scenes. To date, experts have established:

• The terrorists brought into the city of Moscow, for use in committing the crimes under investigation, a homemade mixed explosive substance consisting of military-grade TNT (GOST V 7059-73), ammonium nitrate (GOST 2-85), aluminum powder (GOST 5494-95), and sugar.
• On objects seized from the explosives warehouse on Krasnodarskaya St., a large number of fingerprints suitable for dactyloscopic examination were identified, one of which was left by the middle finger of Gochiyayev's right hand.
• Items found in the non-residential premises of building 16, bldg. 2 on Borisovskie Prudy St. are electric detonators of the ED-8-Zh type, manufactured in 1981 or 1989 at enterprise p/o R-6586 in the city of Shostka, and EDKZ, manufactured in 1989 or 1999 at enterprise A-7673 in the city of Murom, as well as an electric delayed-action fuse.

Case Conclusion

• On December 27, 1999, on the basis of paragraph 2 of Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the RSFSR, the criminal case was terminated regarding the charges against Dakhilgov T.B. for aiding an organized group of persons in the preparation and execution of the bombings of two residential buildings in the city of Moscow, due to the fact that the evidence collected during the preliminary investigation did not provide grounds for a reliable conclusion about his guilt in committing the specified crime, and the possibilities for collecting additional evidence were exhausted.
• At the present time, work on the case has been completed to identify the persons affected by the apartment bombings and the amount of material damage.
