If Put On Trial In Daghestan, Chechen Warlord Raduev Can Get No Security Guarantees

If the law "fails to reach Raduev, Basaev and their henchmen," Daghestanis will themselves "find a way to destroy their enemies," Akhmednabi Magdigadzhiev, secretary of the Daghestani Security Council, said to the press Thursday. According to him, Daghestan cannot guarantee Raduev security if he is brought to trial in that Caucasian republic. "Too many people have declared blood feud against him and associates for his attack on Kizlyar in January 1996," said Magdigadzhiev. At the same time, Magdigadzhiev reiterated the position of the Daghestani leadership that "Raduev and his associates must never again step on Daghestani soil, even as convicts."
