CHECHEN GROUP CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOSCOW METRO BOMBING
By empty (3/1/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
A group calling itself Gazoton Murdash has sent three e-mail messages to the Chechen website kavkazcenter.com claiming responsibility for the 6 February suicide bombing in the Moscow subway that killed at least 40 people. The signatory to the e-mails said the bombing was carried out in retaliation for the execution by Russian forces of dozens of Chechen civilians in an operation in the Grozny suburb of Aldy four years earlier.Visit also
