Ex-Guantanamo prisoner detained in Russia

NALCHIK, Russia - A man who was held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba has been detained on suspicion of involvement in attacks on police last month in southern Russia, a senior prosecutor said Friday.

Relatives and lawyers confirmed that Rasul Kudayev, a Russian who was released from Guantanamo last year, had been detained and insisted the charges have been fabricated.

Deputy Prosecutor General Nikolai Shepel said witnesses, along with Kudayev's own confessions, confirmed his involvement in preparing and carrying out the Oct. 13 attacks on government and law enforcement offices in Nalchik, the capital of the troubled Kabardino-Balkariya region.

At least 139 people died in the nearly simultaneous daytime assaults on law enforcement offices, including the 94 accused attackers, according to official tallies. Shepel said more than 40 people have been detained on suspicion of involvement.

Alexandra Zernova, a lawyer for Kudayev, said that her client was physically too weak to participate in the attacks and said he had been tortured into confessing.

Kudayev was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay after being captured in Afghanistan and linked to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, a terror group with alleged ties to al-Qaida. Since his release last year, he and his family have been repeatedly harassed by police, said his mother, Fatimat Takayeva.

Shepel also said that Ruslan Nakhushev, a respected Islamic expert and well-known government critic who has been missing since being questioned by security officers Nov. 4, has been charged with instigating the attack.

Kabardino-Balkariya is one of several North Caucasus regions that has long been plagued by endemic corruption and violence — some of it stemming from criminal gang feuds and some spilling over from nearby Chechnya.

Let me remind you, you are not American, you are Russian communist sympathizer… Why you are still ashamed to admit your nationality? I would treat you a bit better if you would admit these things about you that most people here is aware of.

Let me remind you, you are a lieing, EU idiot who has only one agenda here, that is hatred towards Russians. Unlike you, I served this country for 12 years and have my say in it and the GOP, since I voted for them and got the word out for them. You are a foreign leftist troll from a foreign super nationalist organization and your country, whose sovereignty you gladly sold out for some 30 pieces of silver, is a backwater province of the new Socialist States of Europe.

My posts do not sympathize with communists, never have, nor (unlike you) do I make excuses for a socialist anti-Christian uber state. Your heart is as black as hell and filled with hatred that you spew at every single opportunity.

Wow...well that proves everything. Yup, you're just a regular Sherlock Holmes. Ever thought about working for Interpol? I'm sure CIA would love to hire you to find Bin Laden, you're a blimy genius I tell you.

A Russian,
Could you clarify your comment? If you believe that Americans are capturing oppressed muslims and training them to kill other muslims, please cite the evidence of this.

It's very interesting that Putin's Kremlin is arming America's worst enemies with whatever they desire, including nuclear weapons.

Where will the Putin promoters be when his Neo-Soviet Russian military stabs US in the back?

Anyone coming on here stating KGB Col Putin is America's "friend" is either a Russia agent or a bloody appeasing fool.

"Islamic terrorism is under suspition of being the creation and instrument of America. " -A Russian -sincec 7 November 2005.

Really?
Have any proof?
Can you cite fact available for our perusal?

Or do you forget that Russia, CCCP, funded terrorism in the 70's and 80's to further communism?
Russia provided funds to Libya, the IRA guys, and the fun guys in the PLO.
Russia even helped build underground bunkers in Lebanon for the PLO that Israel discovered...

Thanks for the lie, once more. Nukes? The only ones spreading weapons grade nuclear materials is Pakistan, per testimony of Lybia who gave up their effort. Of course the fact that Saudi Arabia told the UN inspectors to bugger off, this year, escapes your notice too.

Anyone coming on here stating KGB Col Putin is America's "friend" is either a Russia agent or a bloody appeasing fool.

Nice to know what you think of Bush. That sentiment is more apt for Democrap Underground....go and enjoy.

Either state the Soviet Union provided those funds or state that Russia, Ukraine, Belaruss, Moldova, Kazakstan...etc... provided those funds, since all those nations were part of the CCCP. Can't have it both ways.

Soviet Union is the anglicanised way of saying CCCP.
CCCP was the cyrillic way of saying "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics".
Now, you were saying?

I know what it stands for, what I'm saying is that using Russia and CCCP/Soyz Sovetskih Socialistichnih Respublikov is wrong. Russia was a member state of the CCCP. If the Kremlin had been located in Kiev, would you use Ukraine and CCCP interchangably?

"I know what it stands for,"

So why are you trying to nit pick?

You obviously missed this part of what I said:
"funded terrorism in the 70's and 80's to further communism? "

Now, how about not being nitpicky, and not going off on tangents as you are in post 37?

Putin thanks you for your continued support of the Neo-Soviet empire.

Add these to your collection, comrade.
