Statement of the Riyad-us-Saliheen Martyrs’ Battalion regarding the Martyrdom Operation in Province Ghalghaycho on 17 December 2009. Kavkaz Center provides this statement in summary form.
The Riyad-us-Saliheen Battalion has claimed responsibility for the martyrdom-seeking operation carried out at the Ekazhevo Circle in Nazran, which was also the target of the ‘Operation Badr’ martyrdom operation several months ago that led to the elimination of many infidel soldiers.
Seven soldiers were killed on Monday in the Reşadiye district of the central province of Tokat after Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists opened fire on soldiers patrolling a rural area in the district.
At least three soldiers were wounded in the attack. One of the wounded was in critical condition and was taken to a hospital in Tokat, while two were hospitalized at Reşadiye State Hospital. Clashes between security forces and soldiers were reportedly ongoing by the time Today’s Zaman went to print. Reşadiye Mayor Rafet Erden told Turkish broadcasters that more security forces were sent to the area where the clash occurred.
The leadership of the so-called “Caucasus Mujahideens” has claimed responsibility for the explosion that caused the derailment of the “Nevsky Express” train on November 27.
The statement was published on one of the militants’ websites, Lenta.ru reports.
The online news edition says the terror act was one of a series targeting several strategic objects in Russia. The militants are said to have acted on the order of their leader Doku Umarov.
As the source of KC from Dagestan reported, a fierce fire fighting between the Kadyrov’s apostates supported by Russian infidels on the one side and the Mujahideen on the other took place near the village of Aktash-aul (Russian name Lenin-Aul) during the whole day of Sunday November 29 2009.
