The road that carries death
by Joseph "Soso" Zaalishvili
By the end of the First Jihad (1994-96) in the Chechen Republic, the Islamic authorities and the leaders of the Chechen Mujahedeen actively began to talk about the construction of a so-called "Road of Life," which was to unite Chechnya and Georgia.
At that time (the beginning of 1996), no one thought that the road construction would begin in 1997. In summer 1996, Russia signed the Khasavyurt agreement with the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. Wealthy sponsors of Jihad began to prepare their sinister plans for the Islamization of the Caucasus region.
Fate has granted me the chance to meet and interview many prominent emirs and Chechen mujahedeen. Many of them occupy the highest positions in the government of Ichkeria.
Aslan Maskhadov told me about the plan to build a "Road of Life," which was to provide a corridor for the receipt of ammunition and mujahedeen in case of a continuation of the Jihad in the northern Caucasus.
I had personal meetings with the emirs who had personally engaged in the construction of this road, such as Shamil Basayev, Turpal Ali Atgiriev, and Ruslan Gelayev, who at various times oversaw this project. I learned that the construction of this road was funded by a "High Arab,” who has incredible authority among the Chechen Mujahedeen, and is a close friend of Amir Khattab: Osama bin Laden.
Before the second Jihad in the Northern Caucasus in 1999, Chechens finished the road's journey to the borders of Georgia, but the Georgian government and President Shevardnadze, under pressure from Georgian society, froze plans to build the road from the Georgian side.
In meetings with me, Chechen emirs repeatedly talked about their plans for the Islamization of the Caucasus. In their view, this road would help not only Chechens, but after the victory of Jihad in the Caucasus, it would serve as a corridor for the mujahedeen in Turkey and Iran.
In their view, the real enemy of Islam is not Russia and the citizens of this country, but Israel and the Zionists. And the goal? To create a single Islamic state -- a Caliphate.
In 1998, a source told me that a "High Arab" (Osama Bin Laden) came to the Urus-Martan (Chechnya region) and took 10 Stingers to local jihadists as a gift.
I was kidnapped by Mujahedeen because of an article published in the Georgian newspaper about their plans in the Caucasus.
I carefully observed the actions of supporters of Jihad in the Caucasus. Many of them were destroyed in the fighting. There were new Emirs and representatives of al-Qaida.
In 2011, Georgia's new president, Mikhail Saakashvili, began a visa-free policy with the North Caucasus, Iran and Turkey. I immediately thought of the so-called "Road of Life" and what the Mujahedeen had told me about the Jihad against Israel.
In addition, over the last year, Georgia's relations with its longtime ally of Israel have very much soured. Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili openly invited Ahmadinejad for an official visit to Tbilisi.
The visa-free policy allows the Mujahedeen to move through the territory of Georgia and into Turkey and Iran without problems. For example, before the introduction of visa-free travel, I met with several Pakistanis who had Pakistani passports issued in the Pakistani consulate in Kazakhstan, where the personal numbers were recorded by hand. It is interesting that on their passports, they were born January 1, 1972, 1973 and 1974. They had a used car dealership 50 meters from the main entrance to the American Embassy in Georgia. A bomb exploded near the embassy. Fortunately, only a fence collapsed and no one was hurt. One year after the incident, Georgian authorities have announced that it was a terrorist attack, arranged by Russian special services. Recently, I accidentally met one of these Pakistanis. He has already become a citizen of Georgia.
Since 2010, Georgia has sold Iran more than a million sheep. I understand that it is very profitable to sell a sheep, which in Georgia is worth about 50 dollars but can be sold to Iran for 350-400 dollars, but it is not clear why the Iranians are paying the price, when Iran itself is a major exporter of sheep meat.
Georgia has supported "Iran's peaceful nuclear program." Most of the household and agricultural products imported to Georgia come from Turkey and Iran.
In conclusion, I can say that the plan for the Caucasus and the international jihadists's intention to use Georgia as a corridor, or a "road that carries death," is already in progress at present, and worse yet, nearing completion.

'British national among 14 dead in Morocco suicide attack'
A British national and two French people are among 14 killed in a suicide bomb attack in a popular tourist cafe in Marrakesh, according to reports by French newspaper Le Figaro.

Echoes of the Fall of Constantinople, when through diplomatic intrigue the Sultan isolated the Byzantine capital from its allies, and then attacked it with total destruction, blood flowing knee deep in the streets. Such is fate of Georgia's diplomatic intrigues with Iran and Turkey? Too bad if so, they did not learn from history, that to negotiate with Jihad leads only to hudna, just time enough to... That road "carries death".
We sold the Georgians to the Russian bear and they live in a tough neighborhood. Too bad they are going to be eaten by the Islamic wolf too.
If we had given support to them, we would have influence.
Since we sold them, probably we have none.

For those not familiar with Maskhadov, Besayev, Gelayev, Khattab, and other Chechen jihadists (and how deeply entrenched Islam is in the Caucusas) visit YouTube and type in 'Chechen shaheed', for example.
Most of them are dressed in camoflage uniforms, carry potent 'small' arms, and are devoted--truly devoted--to Islam and the Islamization of the Caucasus.
I remember a news article during the Balkans situation which noted that the area's Muslims do not match the West's mental image of Muslims.
So, too, jihadists in the Caucasus.
The architect of Beslan and other terrorist attacks, was the Chechen Shamil Basayev, who was linked to the Russian FSB, when he, effectively allied with Russia, fought for Abkhazia against Georgia. He slipped through Russian FSB checkpoints strangely without being detained several times. Many of the "chechen mujahideen", fought for Russia in abkhazia during the war against Georgia in the early 90's.
Russia used Chechens to murder orthodox christian Georgians, and Russia still backs Muslim Abkhkazia against Georgia, and even deployed Chechen units belonging to Kadyrov against the Georgians in the 2008 Ossetia war.
The "Vostok", and "Zapad" Chechen special forces were sent to battle against Georgians during the war-

as you can see on this wikipedia article, Shamil Basayev fought side by side with the Russians against the orthodox CHRISTIAN georgians
"Russian border guards allowed the Chechen fighters led by Shamil Basayev to cross into Abkhazia or at least did nothing to prevent them from arriving in the conflict zone."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Abkhazia_(1992%E2%80%931993)
cited from "The wolves of Islam: Russia and the faces of Chechen terror By Paul J. Murphy"
"Ironically, for most of the next year Basayev would fight alongisde Russians sent by President Yeltsin to support Abkhazia against Georgia. Russian military intelligence turned a blind eye to the 1991 terrorist arrest warrant against Basayev to train him and his detachment in Abkhazia, and the Russians even helped direct Basayev's combat operations. Long after the war, Basayev praised the professionalism and courage of his Russian trainers in Abkhazia — praise that led some of his enemies in Grozny, even President Maskhadov, to later call him a "longtime GRU agent"

"This, however, was not the worst atrocity attributed to Basayev and his men. One hundred Georgian soldiers were herded into the central stadium in Gagra where they were beheaded and their heads used as footballs in a soccer match"
200,000 Georgians were cleansed from abkhazia, by Shamil Basayev's Russian supported checehn forces. He executed any Georgian they found
A gruesome form of execution was used on the Georgians by the Chechens and abkhaz called the "chechen tongue". Trust me, you don't want to know why its called that.

Basayev spent most of his time playing video games and sleeping during the day, he was expelled from school, he was basically just some bum lazing around in his youth.

Yet during the war, he somehow mgaically acquired super brutal fighting skills against the Georgians and defeats them numerous times. Magic?
Nope- he was all trained in combat and gruesome execution methods by the Russian GRU and FSB, where do you think he got the sick idea to behead those Georgian troops for a soccer game and execute them by drilling a hole in their throats and looping it into their tongues?
How well did Stalin know islam?
Georgia's realignment toward Iran seems to be part of a wider pattern and a direct consequence of the weakening of US influence and prestige under Obama.

I agree, Nacazo. I have generally been very sympathetic to the Georgians in the face of naked Russian aggression. I suppose they hope these other alliances will be be a hedge against Russian power, but it is something far worse. I am both saddened and alarmed to hear this.

"Horse" has posted this several times before. What is his point?
Shamil Basayev—also known as Abdallah Shamil Abu Idris Al-Bassi—came from a long, brutal line of Jihadists. Even if it were true that his ties were at one time as close to Russia as "Horse" implies—which is disputed, in any case—what would that prove?
It wouldn't make him any less the vicious Jihadist, and it doesn't render his siege of the Moscow theatre or his massacre of Russian *schoolchildren* in Beslan any more palatable.
Its practicly the same argument as "Osama bin Laden is made in the USA"
I supplied dozens of links from western sources which prove that its true, and not only that, Russia is still using Chechen elite military units like vostok and zapad, having used them in the 2008 war in South Ossetia against Georgia, after Basayev's death.
Said-Magomed Kakiyev, a Chechen military officer, still holds high rank in the Russian Spetsnaz special forces
You don't know crap, so stop spouting it.
unknown998 admitted Russia used Chechen mujahideen against Russia

That's exactly what I thought, too.
You know, the Muslims' absolute worst nightmare is this: that Uncle Sam and Mother India and Mother Russia all suddenly wake up at the same time and realize that they have to a. quit trying to please or appease Muslims and (in the case of Uncle SAm and Mother Russia) b. quit ever trying to have Muslims as allies, or to use Muslims against other non-Muslims, no matter how much they may dislike those other non-Muslims.
When the kafir close ranks, and pool their very formidable resources of brainpower and productivity and creativity, and devote same to defending themselves against the jihad, singlemindedly, then the Ummah doesn't stand a chance.
If the Ummah stopped being able to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds; if it became utterly impossible for them to 'split the camp', to play off one group of kafir against another; then...la commedia e finita.
you forget the nearly 1,000 casualties the combined Russian, American, Japanese, and European forces suffered at the hands of the Chinese Imperial Army at Tianjin in 1900, the massive defeated of the British led Admiral Seymour's expedition, consisting of european, american, russian, and japanese forces, and the terror and fear that all the legationers in Beijing felt, the europeans, the americans, the Russians, and Japanese learned that they were not only up against the Chinese Imperial army, but the elite Gansu Muslim units of General Dong Fuxiang.
General Ma Fulu and Ma Fuxiang personally gave battle to British forces, including Indian sepoys, while other Russian, european, japanese, and american forces attacked Beijing.
The German Kaiser Wilhelm thought the combined european/russian/american/japanese force was assured of easy victory against china, but when he heard muslim troops were in the Chinese army, he crapped in his pants, and called his friend the Ottoman Sultan in Turkey for help....
