Doku Umarov calls himself “Russia’s Bin Laden”
I’m working out the details of getting this next investigative article published, but people need to know now.
Excerpt:
Canadian Broadcasting reported,
“Last year, a charismatic rebel commander calling himself Said Buryatsky bragged on the rebel website Kavkaz Center he was training new suicide bombers. An ethnic Russian convert to Islam, Buryastky, born Alexander Tikhomirov, studied for several years in Saudi Arabia. …A new leader, Dokka Umarov, emerged declaring the new goal was to separate all six Muslim majority provinces in the Russian Caucasus from the Russian Federation, and create a new Islamic state ruled by Sharia law. Admired for his Saudi religious education Buryatsky quickly became Umarov’s chief ideologist. He also became a valued military strategist.”
Brian Glyn Williams next tells his Huffington Post readers, “It seems that the older Tamerlan then converted his brother Dzhokar to the fanatical cause”. Ah. But, here is where we must insist on a full disclosure from Mr. Brian Glyn Williams. You see it is Williams’ own personal relationship with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, over several years and via numerous email communications concerning the younger Tsarnaev’s Chechen roots, that alerted me to this topic in the first place.
“I hope I didn’t contribute to it,” said Mr. Williams on April 19th, in the wake of the bombing revelations (South Coast Today). “That kid and his brother identified with the Chechen struggle.” Williams is identified as “Dr. Brian Glyn Williams” and no mention of his CIA or Jamestown Foundation connections appears in the article.
What does appear however demands some scrutiny. Williams hooked up with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev when the latter was still in high school and 17 years old, according to South Coast Today reporter Steve Urbon.
“Williams, whose classes on the War on Terror are routinely packed, obliged by exchanging emails with the then-17-year-old student [Dzhokhar]…As Williams put it, an ancient civilization was being wiped away. …Williams shot me an email. I phoned him and at one point I heard a rare twinge of worry in his voice. “I hope I didn’t contribute to it. … [Dzhokhar] was learning his Chechen identity, identifying with the diaspora and identifying with his homeland. … He wanted to learn more about Chechnya, who the fighters were, who the commanders were. I sort of gave him background.”
Well, the commanders were, and are, Doku Umarov, Said Buryatsky and a distinguished gentleman named Shamil Basayev. Basayev arranged for 850 hostages to be taken at a theater in Moscow in 2002, demanding Russia give up the province of Chechnya and pull out. During the siege 130 civilians died as well as all 40 of Basayev’s armed terrorists.
