Doku Umarov: Kremlin's enemy who aims to ruin Sochi Olympics

HE is known as Russia's Osama bin Laden; Public Enemy No 1 for the Kremlin. Even the US has put a $5 million bounty on his head.

Doku Umarov, 49, the Chechen warlord with the blackest of reputations, is assumed to be the mastermind behind a bombing campaign intended to disrupt Vladimir Putin's cherished dream of a successful Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Certainly, he has set out his aims clearly enough. The Olympics, he said, were being held on "the bones of many, many dead Muslims buried on our land by the Black Sea".

“Indeed. It’s like holding the Olympics in Austin and Grozny is Amarillo.”

Yes. And history is full of should haves, but Russia should have cut Chechnya loose when the USSR collapsed, instead of beating it into submission, losing 30,000 troops in the process and killing God knows how many Chechen civilians. Had that happened (and this was Yeltsin’s fault, not Putin’s), Chechnya would have been just another Central Asian republic, instead of a terrorist hotbed. And all of Putin’s he-man poses and the unfortunate conservative bromance with a former KGB staff officer won’t change this fact.

That's funny right there.

LOL. Do you have any idea what has really happened there? By 1993 Chechnya was a kind of pagan kingdom, run by a former Soviet Strategic Air Command General, who turned to be a Chechen muslim maniac. it had a 300 jet airforce and a number of nukes available. Hurdreds of tanks and IFVs, thousands of jihadis crowded from around the world. And there were no law and order at all. Infidels were robbed, raped and murdered on a daily basis. In a city of Grozny alone, some 20,000 non-muslims were killed between 1989 and 1993.

It was a mix of Doctor Strangelove and Apocalipse Now in one box.

Russian fedgov had to respond for sure.

“Vlad has a reputation to keep up. I think he’ll have the games very secure.”

The Chechens have had years to plan, hide weapons and ordnance, plant their operatives into Sochi livelihoods or even recruit from Sochi natives.

[kaehurowing]

Sounds like we should loan the Russians some of our extra drones.

[Cowboy Bob]

Ditto for what you said. The Chechens are hated by everyone else living in the Caucasus. There is a reason for that.

Thank you for the ping rdl6989.
I appreciate it.

Snippet: “On the other hand, this would be the fifth time he’s been killed.”

[Jimmy Valentine]

Sochi is a major resort area on the Black Sea. It is sort of Miami Beach of Russia. Vladimir Putin is going to put some serious hurt on the Chechens if they mess the Olympics.

(Reuters) -

SNIPPET: “Islamist rebels have vowed to take their bombing campaign from the North Caucasus to the Russian heartland in the year before presidential elections, hitting transport and economic targets. They have also leveled threats at the 2014 Winter Olympics, scheduled for the Black Sea resort town of Sochi, a region some militants consider “occupied.””

SNIPPET: “No group has yet taken responsibility for the attack, but dozens of Internet surfers, writing in Russian, praised the suicide bomber on unofficial Islamist site kavkazcenter.com.”

SNIPPET: “The attack raised questions over Russian security — one month after it won the right to host the 2018 World Cup.”

.....Or so Mohammed claim.

[Biggirl]

The Chechens picked the wrong person, Putin, and area, Sochi to cause trouble. Putin is not one to mess with.

[Truth29]

"The solution is clear - many more bones needed!"

Indeed, and I wonder if deep digging would turn up Obama's fingerprints in encouraging the Muslims to act against civilization. Obama spreads chaos wherever he goes.

[DuncanWaring]

Ping.

[Pollster1]

If we had a president who opposed terrorism, I’d love to see CIA/NSA provide Russia with global targets and the Russians deliver a permanent solution to the problem.

Just drop a nuke on Mecca. Problem solved.
