More importantly, both had onward tickets from Beijing to Western Europe-although of little consequence to those on a suicide mission, it would have made little sense to their handlers to spend the extra few hundred quid for no tangible benefit.

This is being widely reported in the Russian media, with the suggestion that this might be part of a show of force in the lead up to the Crimean referendum.The Ukrainian Defence Ministry is refusing to comment, merely stating that this is part of a routine military exercise (the exact location...
No worries.Although it mostly consists of Jihadist propoganda, Kavkaz Centre can be quite an interesting place for those who follow conflicts in the Islamic world as it offers a very good account of events from an Islamist perspective, for instance, they had published details of UK and other...
The article is a pack of lies based on unverified reports from a terrorist website. In case you haven't heard of 'Kavkaz Centre'-its the official mouthpiece of the Emirate of Ichkeria which doubles up as a jihadi manual for Al Qaeda sympathisers. I would not recommend visiting it unless you want...

Please re read my post.193000 was the total number of Tatars who were shipped off to the stans- this is not a pie in the sky figure but one based on actual headcounts. If half if them were dead on arrival, it would mean under 100000 made it alive to Central Asia. I am struggling to comprehend...
