This document is a formal resolution dated April 18, 2003, issued by Senior Investigator I.I. Zipunnikov of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office, detailing updated charges against Yusuf Ibragimovich Krymshamkhalov regarding the 1999 apartment bombings. It alleges that Khattab and Abu Umar organized a terrorist group in July 1999 that manufactured approximately 14 tons of explosives in Stavropol Krai, consisting of ammonium nitrate, TNT, sugar, and aluminum powder. The narrative describes the logistics of transporting these materials to Moscow and Volgodonsk, the use of a forged passport by A.Sh. Gochiyaev to rent warehouses under the front company 'BRAND-2', and the specific execution of the bombings on Guryanova Street (September 8), Kashirskoye Highway (September 13), and in Volgodonsk (September 16). Significant details include the bribery of a GIBDD officer, S.S. Lyubichev, with a bag of sugar to allow the transport of explosives, and the technical specifics of the electronic timers and detonators used. No mention is made of hexogen, the Ryazan incident, or allegations of FSB involvement; the document frames the attacks as a strategy to influence government policy during the August 1999 invasion of Dagestan.
