The regional operations headquarters of Russia for carrying out the counter-terrorist operation reports that a 20-man-strong group of bandits led by Vakha Arsanov is conducting subversive and terrorist activities in the vicinity of Achkhoi-Martan and stanitsa Assinovskaya (Chechnya).

It is assumed that the gunmen are preparing to place land mines at the Shali-Novye Atagi section of the motor road. The operations headquarters reports that the international Islamic organization "Muslim Brothers" is preparing a consignment of arms, including remote control explosive devices, for dispatch to Chechnya. The arms are to be delivered to Chechnya in small batches through mountain passes in May. It has been reported that two women-snipers have arrived in Argun in the middle of last April. One of them is a Baltic resident nicknamed "Hedgehog", and the other comes from Uzbekistan.
