Umarov, Byutukayev among Domodedovo terror suspects - Investigative Committeehttp://www.interfax.com/newsinf.asp?id=232279 MOSCOW. March 29 (Interfax) - The Russian Investigative Committee has decided to prosecute a number of insurgency leaders, including Doku Umarov and Aslan Byutukayev, in the case over the terrorist attack at Domodedovo Airport, IC spokesman Vladimir Markin told Interfax. "IC investigators have made decisions to bring charges against active members of militant groups, including Umarov and Byutukayev," Markin said. Also, a decision has been made to bring charges against Adam Ganizhev, Islam Yevloyev and Aslan Tsechoyev. kk
Investigative Committee's spokesman Vladimir Markin said Tuesday that the agency charged warlord Doku Umarov with organizing the Jan. 24 bombing of Moscow's Domodedovo airport that killed 37 and injured more than 180. Umarov claimed responsibility for the attack in a video posted last month and warned many more such attacks will follow if Russia does not allow the Caucasus to become an independent Islamic state governed by Sharia law. Markin said authorities detained two brothers in Monday's security raid in the province of Ingushetia west of Chechnya on charges of helping stage the bombing. Copyright 2011 The Associated Press.

http://en.rian.ru/russia/20110329/163261230.html 09:59 29/03/2011 Russian forces say Chechen militant leader Doku Umarov could have been among those killed during fighting in the volatile North Caucasus region, the Russian daily Kommersant said on Tuesday. Seventeen rebels were killed on Monday in an attack on a base in Ingushetia used by Islamist insurgents to train suicide bombers, Russia's anti-terror committee said. The raid involved ground forces and air strikes. Three Russia servicemen were also killed in the violence. The identities of the militants have not yet been established, but law enforcement officials say there is a possibility that Umarov, one of Russia's most wanted terrorists, could have been killed in the attack. Umarov, who has styled himself as the Emir of the Caucasus Emirate, claimed responsibility for the March 2010 suicide bombings on the Moscow subway, in which 40 people died. He is also said to have ordered a deadly bomb attack on Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport in January that claimed 37 lives. There have been several false reports of the death of Umarov in recent years, including speculation that he had been killed in an airstrike in Chechnya at the turn of the year. MOSCOW, March 29 (RIA Novosti)
Doku Umarov, the leader of North Caucasus gunmen has most likely been killed in a special operation conducted in the republic of Ingushetia. Umarov was reportedly the primary target in the operation.The process to identify the killed terrorists began on Tuesday morning. Russian news agencies reported that there were people from Umarov's team among the killed gunmen. "This gives us a reason to presume that Doku Umarov has been killed in the battle as well," a source from law-enforcement agencies of Russia's North Caucasus told Interfax. The identification has not been completed yet, and it is too early to officially confirm the death of the notorious warlord. "It has been extremely difficult to capture and destroy Umarov because of peculiarities of the local area - mountains and forest. Umarov has been constantly changing his whereabouts as well. We hope that Umarov has been killed," the source told the Rossiiskaya Gazeta newspaper. The head of Ingushetia, Yunus Bek Yevkurov, stated that there were indeed terrorist leaders among those gunmen killed during the special operation. However, the death of Doku Umarov has to be confirmed by investigators, he added. "The whole group, as we hope, has been destroyed. We hope that no one escaped," Yevkurov said. The special operation was conducted in the area near the borders of Ingushetia, Chechnya and North Ossetia. The area is said to be the location for the headquarters of the south-western sector of the so-called Imarat Kavkaz - a training camp for suicide bombers. The death of 17 terrorists has already been confirmed officially. They have not been identified yet, but members of the special operation say that emir Khamzat, the head of the terrorist training camp, could be among the killed as well. Nikolai Sintsov, an official spokesman for the National Anti-Terrorist Committee of the Russian Federation, stated Monday night that aviation of the Russian Air Force killed 17 terrorists in a pinpoint strike in Ingushetia. The special operation was conducted within the scope of the investigation of two explosions in the Moscow subway on March 29, 2010, which killed 40 people. 29 March 2011, 10:22 Leader of Nalchik religious extremist group eliminatedhttp://www.interfax-religion.com/?act=news&div=8320 Moscow, March 29, Interfax - The leader of a religious extremist group has been killed in a special effort in Nalchik, the information center of the National Antiterrorist Committee (NAC) reports.

The cabinet press service said that “at the meeting it is planned to summarise the results of the preliminary work of experts.” “Russia’s important task at present is to determine the prospects and guidelines of socio-economic development for the medium and long term,” the government says. “It is also necessary to keep in mind that, despite overcoming the crisis events, Russia still has a number of structural economic problems – worn infrastructure, low labour productivity and insufficient competitiveness.” In early February, expert groups were formed on the prime minister’s initiative at the Academy of National Economy and State University Higher School of Economics, their task is to prepare proposals on the formation of a new model of the economy development and their broad public discussion. So far, the heads of 21 expert groups and their expert members - more than 1,100 people in total, have been approved. Among them there are specialists of relevant Russian universities and research institutes, representatives of the ministries and departments concerned, members of the presidential administration and government office of the Russian Federation, heads of regional executive bodies and leading international experts. At a meeting with the heads of expert groups in February, Putin demanded that the widest public be involved in the discussion of the Strategy and all related proposals be heeded. “Activities of the expert group should be maximally open and democratic, it is necessary to take into account all reasonable alternative viewpoints and suggestions, nothing should be brushed aside right off the bat,” he said.
