Bomb Squad Has Hands Full in Chechnya
By MAURA REYNOLDS, Times Staff Writer
GROZNY, Russia--The lookout, fortified with bricks and sandbags, is tucked beneath an abandoned house. It has a slit at ground level.
Lying inside is a strip of wood with four ordinary light switches mounted on it. Everyone knows what that means.
"Each of those switches controls a mine," explains Alexei, one of six elite special forces troops on sapper detail. "The fellow would sit there on those cushions and watch the street. And when someone would come down the road . . ."
He flips the switches, whose wires have been cut. "Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom."
Three weeks ago, these troops--part of Russia's elite OMON forces, paramilitary police commandos--were holed up here in Chechnya's capital just a few hundred yards away, trying to dislodge rebels from this strip of land near the central stadium.
The separatist fighters abandoned the city Feb. 5. Since then, this squad has been making forays into the war zone, trying to clear away mines, booby traps and all forms of live explosives and ammunition.
The work is going on all over Grozny. Explosions can be heard throughout the city, several an hour, more frequently in the afternoon. The massive aerial bombardment that ended earlier this month was far worse. But the continuing blasts are a constant reminder that the war here is not really over, not yet, not until the bombs and shells stop going off. Not until people can walk along the street or into what remains of their homes without fear of losing a limb, or a life.
"It's still not realistic to start letting masses of people return to the city," says Maj. Vladimir Zavalishin, military commandant of the Zavodskoy district, where the stadium is located. "The place is still densely mined. There is no water, no food, no gas or electricity. The city is in a coma. It might be possible to revive it someday, but right now it is all but dead--nothing is working."
First Order Is to Provide Necessities
Russia's emergencies ministry is concentrating on basic life support for the remaining civilian population, providing hot food, potable water and first aid at a handful of locations around the city. The number of people waiting in line has grown in the last few days, but, Zavalishin says, "One shouldn't get a false impression."
"The city is officially closed, and we're still not letting anyone in," he says. "There are more people visible on the streets, but that's because more people keep emerging from their basements and hide-outs."
It is the Russian Interior Ministry, the OMON squads in particular, that is responsible for the remaining military work--so-called mopping-up operations--which include rooting out any remaining rebels and cleaning up the dangerous detritus of war.
The OMON is a secretive organization that rarely invites public scrutiny. But this brigade has taken the unusual step of inviting a reporter along on its mission, with the understanding that its members will be identified by their first names only.
The cement-block fence along the stadium grounds was one of the rebels' last lines of defense. Trenches zigzag from under it, cross backyards and furrow beneath houses. Alexei explains that in case a shell lands in a trench, the zigzags will keep it from turning into a fire tunnel. Each house was a fortress, he says, and federal forces fought for them one by one.
"They organized their defenses very professionally," says Sasha, another squad member. "They did it exactly as it should be done."
The squad's two sappers, Andrei and Sergei, call out from where they are working up ahead. They have followed one of the wires and have found the first line. It's connected to an artillery shell buried a foot under the road and covered with nails.
"It's very difficult to deal with this kind of mine," Alexei says. "It's called a 'surprise.' They have probably hidden the second mine under the first, and the second one will go off as soon as you lift off the first."
The men decide to detonate the mine where it's buried in the middle of the road. The sappers put a pile of concrete slabs and bricks on top of it and attach a long fuse that they string out down the road. The rest of the party goes 200 yards down the road and takes shelter behind the concrete wall. The squad leader, Dima, reminds the rest to keep their mouths open, to protect against the shock wave.
The blast is massive and sudden, the shock wave slow and just as terrifying. It is a full half a minute before pieces of brick and stone stop falling to earth. At the top of the road there is a cloud of yellowish smoke and a crater 3 feet deep.
The sappers are already following the second wire. It leads into a house on the corner, painted a jaunty yellow. The fence is bright green, a sign of the owner's support for the Islamic fighters. The Chechen flag is green and black.
The sappers know where to look. They lift some linoleum flooring inside and see a shell lying in a hole cut in the floorboards. A second shell is found in the cellar. The sappers lay them on the ground outside, next to a desiccated grape arbor. They are grayish-green, with bright orange wires trailing onto the dirt. The fourth and last shell is found around the corner, also buried in the middle of the road.
"This is a pretty wide street," Alexei says. "If one of our tanks came down here, just one of these would be enough to take it out." The sappers decide also to detonate the fourth shell in place, and the rest of the party heads farther down the street, deeper into the neighborhood. As they pass an open fence, they see a man's corpse lying in the yard.
Sign of Life Emerges in Zone of Death
Corpses mean trouble. Many are booby-trapped. Dima, the squad leader, radios the corpse's location to the others.
The second blast is just as loud as the first. As debris rains down, a woman's voice suddenly calls out hysterically from somewhere nearby: "Don't shoot us. Please don't shoot. We're peaceful civilians."
The squad members look at one another. It is strange to imagine anyone alive in this death zone. Dima takes off in the direction of the voice and comes back with a large jar of tomato pickles and a 45-year-old Chechen woman.
She says her name is Tamara Khumgayeva. She fled the city in October but returned two days ago to collect what she could from the remains of her house.
"There isn't much, and what there is is filthy dirty," she says, her voice now calm. "For some reason, two jars of tomatoes survived. We opened the first one. I'm giving the second one to the boys.
"I'm leaving tomorrow," she added. "There isn't another soul around. I'm afraid to stay any longer. There's nothing left."
The squad goes back to the dead man. He is lying on his side, curled as if asleep. Andrei the sapper takes out a grappling hook. Everyone stands back as he gently tugs on the body, moving it a few feet. Nothing happens. The squad moves in for a closer look, and then Andrei calls out, "He has no head."
"What do you mean, he has no head?" Dima asks. "Maybe the dogs ate it."
Alexei comes down the driveway. "No, it's a clean cut. Somebody beheaded him."
The men say they have found a number of headless corpses. Dima says decapitation seems to be what the rebels did to residents who refused to help them. He also speculates that the rebels sometimes keep heads as trophies. The OMON troops admire the rebels' fighting skills but consider their adversaries moral savages.
Alexei is philosophical. He is vaguely aware that human rights groups have accused Russian soldiers of civilian atrocities during mopping-up operations. The groups say they have documented cases in which troops, including OMON forces, have tossed grenades into basements where civilians were hiding, killing entire families at a go.
But from the OMON point of view, basements are deadly minefields. They are frequently booby-trapped. Before tossing grenades, the squad members call into a basement, Alexei says, to warn anyone hiding inside to come out. It would be foolish to go inside, to risk their own lives for an empty basement.
"You can't have a war without victims," he says.
Rebel Graffiti Warns of Judgment Day
The sappers decide to put the two remaining lines they found in the house into the lookout's bunker--it's the best-fortified spot in the area. It seems fitting, somehow, to blow up the spot where the lookout lay in wait. This blast is noticeably larger than the first two. Despite the house's fortifications, the walls and basement cave in.
The squad has had enough. After three hours of such work, the tensions have worn them out. This is the time of day when mistakes get made. On the way out of the neighborhood, the sappers pass by a chalk message written on a fence--one of many the rebels scrawled as they retreated.
"Judgment day is near," they read. "On this day there will be no dawn. Terror will seize mankind. The horror will strike down even the last child. On that day, the living will envy the dead."
The sappers shrug their shoulders and say nothing. They head back to their barracks. They don't have time to think about judgment day. They'll be back here tomorrow.
TURK EXPOSED!!
1. SO-CALLED PICTURE OF TURK
2. LOOKS FAMILIAR, DOESN'T IT?
Igor,
You say there's no Russian mob outside Russia? You must've forgot these, huh?
"FBI reports say Mogilevich has engaged in trafficking of drugs, refugees and weapons, has run prostitution rings and has tortured and murdered his opponents."
"Our objective is to strangle the Russian mafia that operates here," said the U.S. ambassador in Hungary, Peter Tufo.
"This is not a mom-and-pop operation," he said about the Russian mob, which has a global operation reaching from Moscow to Budapest to New York, Los Angeles and South Miami. "It's a multibillion-dollar global enterprise."
"Another major Russian crime group, the Solntsevo organization, has stepped up its operations out of Budapest, Tufo said. The organization is headed by Sergei Mikhailov, according to European and U.S. law enforcement officials."

a common ideology??
* Why, the root's the same. The paths separated, though
Who's dirty underwear is it, anyway?
* Europe's, definitely, dirtied due USSR scare. And the "aroma"'s still so persistent, that eyes are blinded.
At which point I believe,the Prussians had just managed to rid themselves of the French, before going on to form the German Kaisersreich.
* Even if so, we are talking about more or less densely populated "region" with established inner/outer political ties, royals and ... musketeers (he-he).
BONES show where I said"Igor,
You say there's no Russian mob outside Russia? You must've forgot these, huh?

Turk will never learn.
Anyways,
Expenditures. To keep'em happy.
A comparative table of events.
A chronology of events.
The poor fool is a little dense he has to be shown things 10 times before he understands
--The 22-year-old Kuwaiti, whose wife reportedly gave birth to their first child just three days after his death, ---
I feel sorry for this little baby who will never know his father.
Jihad is very crual.
Poor man, killed at 22. For what?
Swallowed by religion and fanatism. He was driven to kill and was killed himself.
A martyr? No a poor chap fooled by crook jihad leaders.

Who killed Babitsky
I think nobody. I think he is in the hand of the FSB or pro Moscow chechens. They keep him cool, far from his radio station.
Oficialy, he xas handed over to the rebels who now would ask a ransom for his liberation. A good lesson to the US, to shwo who the rebels are.
diplomaticaly they made a big mistake if he died.
He can be dead in a bombing after the handover.

For those yapping about Turks enslaving Russian & Ukranian women, and forcing them into prostitution in Turkey.
Today there was a TV program about dating agencies in Moscow. A plane full of Americans, each paying $3000, flied to Moscow, to inspect, and if they like pick "so called" wives.
It was hard to believe, on average 12 women per man, sitting on chairs, waiting these American men approach and talk to them. Americans were busy, like bees flying from one flower to next.
The women were dressed to kill, very good looking. And Americans were mostly old, fat, bald. Yet these girls were dying to be picked.
Anyone still talking about enslavement of Russian girls overseas. You need to look at Moscow first. These girls are slave. Otherwise, why a beatiful, young girl, will be so eager to be picked by an old, fat, bald American.
They are slave of hunger for material things, and ready to sell themselves to anyone with mighty dollars.
Something never changes in Russia.
Hey here is something for all my Russian pals. It was 20 years ago today the miracle on ice took place when Team USA, made up college kids beat the USSR pro-team in the 1980 olympics.
Yea I find that whole mail-order-bride business rather distateful. But these ladies do have a better chance of getting a better life then lets say some Chinease who are promised jobs in America and find them selves in sweat shops on an island in the pacific.
- Contrary to the ludicrous assertions of Taliban and Jihadi criminals, the savageries of the “Islamic State” and of its substitute “Islamic Emirate” of Afghanistan have not only not had the slightest impact on reducing prostitution -this gross violation of women's rights- in the country, their “pious” criminality have increased the flesh trade by leaps and bounds.
- Once again, in contradiction of the Taliban and Jihadi fundamentalist bands’ ridiculously childish opinionating, the scourge of AIDS knows no national or religious boundaries. HIV infection has long since infiltrated Afghan society and is rife especially among prostitutes where it claims unmarked and un-remarked silent victims. The fundamentalist rulers of Afghanistan are too insensibly ignorant to appreciate the threat of AIDS. In their puerile, arrogant “erudition”, they believe that by chanting their refrain-word “Islam”, their Sharia will perform a miracle and fundamentalist-contaminated Afghanistan will be AIDS-free!
- The “Islamic Emirate” with its perpetual pitching of the banner of “Islam” and “Sharia law” on each and every infamy, including stoning to death and arbitrary executions, can never hope to provide a cure for festering social ills, prostitution in particular. As we have asserted time and again, they can only worsen the situation.
- One of the unforgivable crimes of each and every stooge regime -from Taraki to Najib-is the propagation of prostitution and the physical, mental, and moral devastation of Afghan women. The Jihadi criminals elevated this disgrace to its acme. The more the Taliban hypocrites wrap themselves up in Islam and Sharia law, the more distinguished they become in shame and infamy. The fundamentalists and their sympathizers put prostitutes forward as a defiled, untouchable group in their “pure Islamic” society and believe that the “purity” of their illusory “pure” society lies in persecution and annihilation of prostitutes. It behoves our noble and patriotic intellectuals to point out in no uncertain terms that whatever ignominy that may be associated with the shameful flesh trade is a reflection of the mark of shame and disgrace branded onto the foreheads of fundamentalist rulers. These despicable rulers are most worthy of all contempt as they are the source and the cause of all social scourges, including prostitution, in our mortally wounded country.
