Dagestani Brothers Jailed in Terror Case


06 December 2011

The Moscow Times

Two Dagestani brothers living in Moscow were both sentenced to 14 months in prison Monday for harboring a female member of an Islamist group that had planned terror attacks in the capital.

The Kuzminsky District Court ruled that Sultan and Sadir Abdulkerimov knew Zeinab Suyunova’s plans to execute a suicide attack on Red Square on New Year’s Eve last year and offered her shelter, rather than inform police.

“Suyunova arrived in Moscow to carry out a terrorist attack by blowing herself up during festivities ,” prosecutors said. “The Abdulkerimov brothers provided her with new clothes and a hiding place in their apartment, thus concealing her from law enforcement authorities.”

After one of her accomplices accidentally detonated a bomb on Dec. 31, the FSB were alerted and Suyunova sought refuge with the brothers.

She later escaped to Volgograd, where she was detained and confessed.

Moscow, Russia - The exhibition will be held at Langkawi, Malaysia, between 6th and 10th this month


(WAPA) - The "Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace" has been held since 1991. Today it is one of the most important arms exhibitions in the region. With the role of Asian-Pacific countries in international affairs growing dramatically over the past years, defense and security issues rise high on their national agendas as far as sustainable peace and development are concerned.

“South-East Asia is a very important market for us, as it accounts for a significant part of total sales by Rosoboronexport. Despite tight rivalry, we plan to expand our cooperation with the countries in this region. And not only in export of final products: we are discussing opportunities to launch joint weapon development projects, organize license production and establish maintenance and service centers here,” said Rosoboronexport’s deputy Director General Viktor Komardin, who led the company delegation at LIMA 2011.

Russia has good interaction almost with all nations in the region, working closely with traditional partners and those who have indicated their interest in establishing defense technology ties with Russia for the first time, such as Brunei, Cambodia, Nepal and the Philippines.

This year Rosoboronexport opted for a digital format of presentations, laying stakes on interactive capabilities of modern multimedia technologies. For instance, performance of MiG-29M multi-role fighter and Mi-28NE and Ka-52 attack helicopters will be demonstrated in this manner: simulated 3D videos give a comprehensive picture of their combat capabilities. Sukhoi’s Su-30MK fighters of various modifications are quite popular in the region. They are in service with the armed forces of Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and China.

“This is a very good aircraft, and we believe it still has quite high export potential. It meets all modern requirements and offers huge opportunities for upgrade. For instance, we are looking forward to Malaysian Defense Ministry’s tender for a batch of new multirole fighters, as we are sure that our bid (the Su-30MK, Ed) will have very good chances to win. Trying to keep up with the latest trends on the arms market, we are willing to make an interesting offset proposal", Komardin pointed out.

By the way, Russian offset proposals will be announced during the "LIMA 2011", and in addition to Sukhoi maintenance and repair projects, will include localization of the components in the field of civil aviation, as well as transfer of different industrial technologies. Specialists also expect increased attention to Russian air defense systems. The experience of recent conflicts shows that an effective air defense is vital for the national security of any country.

South-East Asia is also one of the key markets for Russian helicopter manufactures. Rosoboronexport offers all types of helicopters that can operate in difficult climatic conditions and are much superior to rivals in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Most of the countries in the region have long coast border, that’s why protection of their 200-mile economic zone becomes one of top priorities. Rosoboronexport offers ships and submarines to achieve this goal and meet other national policy interests. In addition, Russia boasts modern technologies to deploy an integrated maritime and boarder control system which can include unique over-the-horizon (OTH) radar Podsolnukh-E.

Guests of the exhibition will receive full information about the following aircraft:
Su-30MKM, Su-30MK2, MiG-35, MiG-29M, MiG-29SMT multirole fighters;
Yak-130 combat trainer;
Be-200 amphibian;
Il-76MD transport plane.

And on the following helicopters:


Mi-171Sh utility helicopter;
Mi-28NE and Ka-52 attack helicopters;
Ka-226T and Ka-32 multi-purpose helicopters;
Mi-26T2 heavy transport;
Scout Ka-31
