Remember the rumors about the Chechen rebel groups operating in
Afghanistan supposed to fight on the side of Taliban? Guess what, it has
figured out that these rumors were actually facts. One of the inner
confidential reports of the Georgian security services has come to light. The
report contains the plans of transporting routes of the Chechen warlords Gelaev
and Mezhidov and a number of rebels under their command into Afghanistan.
Gelaev and Mezhidov have officially asked the Georgian government to admit help
to get to the border with Turkey unimpeded. The chief staff of Georgia’s
state’s secret service provided the rebels with transportation means for a
save transit passage. After reaching the border the rebels are going to use the
secret and save paths to Iran, where the local Shiite extremist groups will
admit them support and escort the Chechens to the border with Afghanistan.
After that the local government and America’s military units will get a
real nasty headache. And this should be right, because they have been warned
about the Chechen threat in Afghanistan often, but didn’t pay attention to
that. Why should Georgian government walk such a risky path? It is quite easy
to explain - on the one hand they get rid of the Chechen extremists and improve
relations with Moscow on the other. But the question is - what America will say
to that?
