CHECHEN FIELD COMMANDER THREATENS NEW ATTACKS ON RUSSIA
By empty (3/13/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
In video footage broadcast on 13 March by Al-Jazeera television, Arab-born Chechen field commander Abu Al-Walid vowed to launch new attacks against Russian civilians if the Russian president elected on 14 March \"declares war on the Chechens.\" Four months ago, Al-Jazeera broadcast a similar threat by Al-Walid, whom Russian presidential aide Sergei Yastrzhembskii described on 13 March as one of the four most influential Chechen field commanders still alive and fighting.
