This document reports on the trial of Aslanbek Khaskhanov in the Moscow City Court regarding the October 19, 2002, car bombing near a McDonald’s restaurant on Pokryshkin Street. Khaskhanov, who was previously sent for compulsory psychiatric treatment in Sychevka, pleaded guilty but contested the specific charges. The investigation linked the bombing to the later theater hostage crisis at Dubrovka, though the cases were tried separately. The report notes that four other defendants—Aslan Murdalov, Alikhan and Akhyad Mezhiev, and Khampash Sobraliev—were sentenced in April 2004, despite recanting their confessions and alleging pressure. Khaskhanov's defense requested a new psychiatric evaluation, which the court denied.
