Volume 25 57

Timur and Yoska insisted on blowing up a vehicle near a residential building. For this purpose, we bought a "GAZ" vehicle with a box body and transferred the bags into it. We told the owner that the bags contained potatoes. We left this "GAZ" in front of the house where its previous owner lived; he drove it to the house himself. But before that, Timur set the explosive device, but I do not know what it consisted of or where it was installed. Then I immediately left for Chechnya, to Serzhen-Yurt, where I learned that this vehicle had exploded and destroyed a residential building. And Yoska and Timur drove the KAMAZ, which I had bought from my cousin Temirliev, to my home in Karachayevsk and also left for Chechnya.

I stayed in Chechnya for about a year and a half; during this time I took part in combat operations against federal forces in Abu Jafar's unit, which I mentioned above. Combat operations at that time took place in the village of Chervlennaya, Nadterechny district, and Serzhen-Yurt. I drove a KAMAZ and transported people from illegal armed groups; at the same time, I had a weapon—a Kalashnikov assault rifle with a folding stock. I had to shoot in the direction of Russian troops, but they were always at a distance from me and I did not see that I killed anyone. In Serzhen-Yurt, the main battles ended and we all moved to Shatoy. Then I moved by car to Selmentauzen, where I joined Abu Jafar's group, handing the car over to someone else. With him, I returned to Serzhen-Yurt again, and then we moved around its outskirts through various villages. In the autumn of 2000, everyone began to leave Chechnya for Georgia and Azerbaijan, and I decided to stay, but then, due to failed relations with the Arabs, I also left for Georgia. There I first lived at an Arab base in the village of Tsinubani in the Pankisi Gorge, then moved to the Turks in the village of Birkiani, and then in Duisi I married a local resident, a Chechen-Kistin by nationality, but I refuse to give her name. I lived with her until my detention, which took place this morning.

Question: Who participated in the preparation and commission of the bombings of residential buildings in the cities of Moscow and Volgodonsk in September 1999?
