This 2002 article from Grani.ru details a forensic dispute over FSB photographic evidence intended to link Achimez Gochiyayev, a key suspect in the 1999 Moscow and Volgodonsk apartment bombings, to the militant leader Khattab. British forensic expert John Oxley analyzed the photographs and concluded that physical discrepancies in ear shape, eye slits, and dental gaps suggest Gochiyayev and the man pictured with Khattab are not the same person. The document notes that Gochiyayev, through Alexander Litvinenko, claimed he was used 'blindly' by an FSB agent to rent the basements where the bombings occurred. These findings were reportedly presented to the Public Commission on the Apartment Bombings during a 2001 video link. The report highlights the FSB's attempt to reinforce the 'Chechen trace' narrative against mounting independent skepticism.
