HEADLINE: Arabs predominate in Beslan attack
DATELINE: BESLAN, Russia, Sept. 3 (UPI)
BODY: The terrorists who killed more than 150 people and injured at least 456 in a southern Russian school include 10 Arabs, Itar-Tass reported Friday.
Aslambek Aslakhanov, an adviser to President Vladimir Putin, said the gunmen were of different nationalities, but 10 of them were from Arab countries and one was from an African nation.
They are suspected of gaining entrance into Beslan with a truck hijacked in the Mozdok region of North Ossetia last month.
In addition, Russian intelligence sources have identified Shamil Basayev as the attack's mastermind and Magomet Yevloyev as the field commander of the hostage crisis that began Wednesday.
They are believed to have been funded by Wahabist Muslim leader Abu Omar al-Seif, al-Qaida's liaison in Chechnya and the manager of the group's foreign funds.

HEADLINE: Basayev behind Beslan hostage raid - FSB
BODY: BESLAN /North Ossetia/, September 3 - According to preliminary information released by the Federal Security Service, Shamil Basayev masterminded the Beslan hostage raid, while field commander Magomet Yevloyev led it, representatives of secret services in the southern federal district told Itar-Tass.
Also, there is information that the mass hostage taking was funded by one of the ideologists of Wahhabism Abu Omar al-Seif, al Qaeda's liason in Chechnya and manager of foreign funds.
FSB agents claimed Magomet Yevloyev was the one who directly supervised the hostage taking. His call-sign was "Magas."
Suicide bombers for terrorist attacks in Russia and the North Caucasus are prepared by instructors from al Qaeda and other extremist organizations. "In a number of cases, suicide bombers are trained by Chechen instructors, but they, too, use al Qaeda methods," the FSB said.
It is known that Yevloyev is subordinate to Bassayev, and that he was responsible for planning, carrying out and funding terrorist attacks and acts of sabotage in Chechnya and Ingushetia.
A senior Ingush Interior Ministry official said Yevloyev was among the people close to the former president of "Ichkeria" Zelimkhan Yandarbiyev, who, for his part, contributed to Magas' close acquaintance with Basayev and Khattab.
Law-enforcement bodies have information about Yevloyev's involvement in a number of acts of sabotage and terror, the militants' attack on Dagestan in the summer of 1999, and the kidnapping of people in Ingushetia with subsequent smuggling of the abducted to the notorious Wahhabis - the Akhamadov brothers.
That this is al Qaeda linked islamoterrorism is avoided in the press.
Initialy the news boys here would say they weren't sure just who could have held these children and parents hostage.
Above are two reports -- based on the Tass one which is detailed in terms of names and specifics.
AQ link BUMP.
Sorry all links must be pre-approved by the democrats on the senate intelligence committee. Stop spreading baseless rumors.
Thanks!
Did you put a link in to the other thread?
No. I haven't been cross linking.
As suspected.
In addition, Russian intelligence sources have identified Shamil Basayev as the attack's mastermind and Magomet Yevloyev as the field commander of the hostage crisis that began Wednesday.

I wonder if the islamofacists will get the message if Russia drops 2000lb bombs on all mosques in chechnya every friday while the mosques are full of the islamofacists.
I've been reading news stories for *years* about Chechnya, Ingushetia, and Dagestan, and almost *never* had the media mentioned the terorrists' Islamic connections. In fact, the media always referred to them as "rebels," and treated them like the poster boys for the latest "Indigenous Peoples' Liberation Movement."
But now the truth is out - they're just more filthy wahhabist Al-Qaeda scum - paid for, signed, sealed, and delivered by Arab oil money.
It just makes you sick. When are we going to join hands with Russia and put an *end* to this?
Ironically, Russia (then the USSR) was the patron saint of these "indigenous peoples' liberation movements" (and especially of moslem ones) for much of the "twentieth century." And now Al Qaeda (may they boil in excrement), which has just launched a heinous mass murder attack on Russia, are actually in bed with Communist groups like International ANSWER, the International Socialist Organization, and the Workers World Party. I hope the Russian people keep this in mind if sinister forces promise vengeance against their enemies if they are returned to power.
I hate to say this, but I have always thought, that attacks on schools with the murder of children, to be their next step. And I pray, that the US is not going to see this...
"When are we going to join hands with Russia and put an *end* to this?"
When indeed? And not just the Russians, all over the globe innocent people are bedeviled by World Islamic Jihad. From Africa to Russia to the Phillipines to Thailand, and back around again, innocents are murdered by these scum. They hate the Jews, the Christians, the Muslims, the Hindus, and they even hate all Muslims who are insufficiently "holy" that is to say SLAVISH to them.
My theme of the day, any decent Muslims, who really love God, better find a way to save their religion QUICK, because the rest of us are about to decide that it is time to wipe it from the face of the earth.
Ann Coulter was right "Invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity".
al Qaeda should remember that we here in America honor the 2ND Amendment by being heavily armed.
Death To all Muslim Terrorists!
Hang 'em High!
I don't know how they (islamic criminals) can go any lower than killing children at a school.
"Prophet make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home." (Surah 9:73)
IMHO, if I were POTUS, I would have been on the red phone with Putin, asking him if he is NOW ready to play "Let's Make A Deal".....
We (the US) will let him do a TOTAL "mudlum" Clean-Up on Aisle #5, and we will back him....IF...
The US can (with 24hrs notice so Putin can get his Russian workers out) TAKE OUT THAT DANG IRAN REACTOR !!!
...right about now.....I think he'd be up for a "deal".
...and if it happened, and the US got to take out Iran's nuclear reactor between now and Nov 2nd, ya think maybe the
idiot in North Korea would "wanna make a deal ALSO ???"...
susan ostrich's head would EXPLODE.....and Carville would be fitted for a PERMANENT wastebasket....
Do we have any Russian Freepers?
