This is not exactly ‘news’. In fact, this info has been well-known to anybody who had made the effort to understand the truth about the wars in Chechnia. Nonetheless, I recently came across this video of Sibel Edmonds interviewed by James Corbett for Global Research TV and I decided to share it with you:
(You can see the full interview here)
Anyway, at a time when Uncle Shmuel is busy conjuring up nightmarish tales about Iranian agents and Mexican narcotraffickers planning to kill innocent Saudi diplomats it is a good time to remember that the USA and Saudi Arabia (and the UK, of course) were both direct supporters of the worst kind of terrorist insurgents this planet has ever dealt with: the Chechens.
I would also add here that the US and the UK are also directly sponsoring various terrorist organizations inside Iran.
The Saker
An excellent podcast by Sibel Edmonds about this subject:

@Salef: yes, I remember that interview very well. I even thought of posting it here, and then I got distracted. Thanks for reminding me of this!
@EVERYBODY: please do listen to the podcast mentioned by Salef above, it is an excellent summary of how deeply the USA-Wahabi connection has been running for many decades already.
Not shocking at all.
I tried to tell my buddy over in afghanistan how crooked the war was. They got hit by Pakistani taliban (ISI) and chechnians(sp) who were smuggling some heavy weapons in. I assumed they were still in the hands of the CIA at the time.
If you want to keep troops somewhere… they need something to fight. It is really more like organized slaughter then it is a war.

My dear friend Saker,
May we at least see some justice?

He is the one who has started all this non sense wars and he is guilty for all the innocent people who have died in Irak and Afganistan.
The shout is jail this assassin and let him rot!!

US hosted a conference in Baku in Azerbaijan in 99 were the negotiated transfer and training of jihadists into Chechnya according to Defense & Foreign Affairs.
“In mid-December 1999, US officials participated in a formal meeting in Azerbaijan in which specific programs for the training and equipping of mujahedin from the Caucasus, Central and South Asia, and the Arab world were discussed and agreed upon. This meeting led to Washington’s tacit encouragement of both Muslim allies (mainly the intelligence services of Turkey, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia) and US “private security companies” (of the type that did Washington’s dirty job in the Balkans while skirting and violating the international embargo the US formally supported) to assist the Chechens and their Islamist allies to surge in spring 2000. Citing security concerns vis-à-vis Armenia and Russia, Azerbaijan adamantly refused to permit training camps on its soil.”

The Turkish ethnic dimension to the Chechen wars is covered pretty well in Paul Murphy’s 2004 book Wolves of Islam with the Saudi Ibn Khattab claiming to have Chechen ancestry on his mother’s side.
I find it amazing that people do not seem to notice the obvious connection between the North Caucasus and the Balkans and those who are/were involved in both conflicts are also involved in securing alternative energy pipelines that bypass Russia through Turkey and the new Balkan states into the EU.
The US foreign strategy of using Islamic militants in Eurasia to secure US hegemony in the regions oil and gas reserves as laid out in Brzezinski’s 97 book The Grand Chessboard and you only have to look at him and his family clan and associates connections in this regard.
NED in January hosted the launch of Ilyas Akhmadov the exiled Chechen foreign minister and NED scholar.

Actually the support of terrorism and Chechen lead separatism in Russia is not lead by the US but by Britain where operation are run from Britain.
Here is why the 9/11 hijackers were probably in the US to train in British run private security terrorist training camps under the MI6 recruited organisation Al Majaharoun which featured in FBI pre-9/11 memos from British press news reports before and after 9/11.
Famous pre 9/11 Phoenix memo.
SOUBRA was interviewed by the FBI Phoenix on 04/07/2000 and 05/11/2000 at his residence. On 04/07/2000 interviewing agents observed photocopied photographs of UBL, IBN KHATTAB and wounded Chechen Mujahedeen on his living room wall.

One of the best sources for info of terrorist organisations and individuals operating in Chechnya are the selection of terrorism court cases in the US.
