Part 1 Part 2

Demolition crew from the FSB

In the middle 90's a series of terrorist acts took place in Moscow. The most tragic one was a trolley bus exploding on Strastny Boulevard. Much was being said about a coordinated attack on Moscow (by the Chechens - comm. JadeEmperor). But all of a sudden it was uncovered that the bus was blown up not by the Chechen militants, but... by an ex-KGB colonel. He was found guilty by a trial. Also it was found out that the attempted bombing of a railroad bridge across the Yauza river also was not carried out by a militant, but by a former FSB officer. Most likely he would have succeded had he not blown himself up while trying to plant the explosive device. Apparently both former agents had direct links to the Maxim Lazovsky gang. At least 8 active FSB officers worked in close contact with the gang. This was established by the head of the 12-th department of MUR ((Moscow Police - comm. JadeEmperor), leutenant colonel of militia, Vladimir Tzkhai. As soon as it became obvious that Petrovka ((Petrovka 38 is the official adress of MUR headquarters and also its nickname, popularized in books, movies, etc - comm. JadeEmperor) Lazovsky and his closest associates were all eliminated. Suddently Vladimir Tzkhai also passed away from cirrhosis of the liver. Not a single one of the leutenant colonel's colleagues believed his death to be natural, his sober lifestyle was something of an example he set. His friends were sure: lt. col. Tzkhai had been poisoned. In connection to the bombings, to which the two FSB officers associated with the Lazovsky gang had been linked, other bombings, which occured shortly before the 2-nd Chechen war, cannot be ignored. The explosions were blamed on the Chechens. But one of the key witnesses to this investigation told me while being recorded on tape that, contrary to the investigation's findings, he did not rent the basement in a building on Gurianov St. out to Gouchiaev, a Chechen militant. He rented it out to a totally different person. From a suspect sketch which was produced using his testimony, a former FSB colonel Mikhail Trepashkin had identified that other person to be a secret service agent. Furthermore, the senior leadership of the FSB could not produce a satisfactory explanation, what kind of drills had been conducted in Ryazan city which involved planting bags full of hexogen (an explosives) along with a timing device? ((an incident shortly following 1999 Moscow bombings in which bags of explosives along with the detonators were discovered in a building, but FSB later claimed it was a drill - comm. JadeEmperor) And what happened to the officers, who were planting those charges and whose conversations with their superiors were identified in logs from the city phone exchange? After the scandal, which was caused by this supposed "drill", the details of surrounding circumstances were classified.

Oh, I ommited the end of a sentence, should read:

"As soon as it became obvious that Petrovka would not let go of its prey, Lazovsky and his closest associates were all eliminated."

"Lazovsky and his closest associates were all eliminated. Suddently Vladimir Tzkhai also passed away"

Why am I not surprised.
