Plus the city is opened (with restrictions), plus remaining "civilians" were never kicked out.

And here is more info in English (but with old figures for dead and wounded). Most recent figures is 20 dead, 29 wounded

Russian police ambushed in Grozny, 12 dead 31 injured

MOSCOW, March 2 (AFP) -
Twelve Russian security policemen were killed and 31 injured in an ambush Thursday on a road seven kilometers (five miles) from the Chechen capital Grozny, Russian media reported.

The group had been travelling from the North Ossetian town of Mozdok to a base in Chechnya when they were attacked by a group of Chechen militants in the Staropromyslovski area of Grozny, private television channel NTV said.

The police said they had been caught off guard but defended themselves until reinforcements had arrived.

Ah, don't get your first post. As for second, "private television channel NTV" is not very reliable source if you ask me.

New World Order Feb. 2000

Update
Feb 2000

Who is behind Human Rights Watch?

The backgrounds of the Board members at Human Rights Watch (HRW),
Europe-Central Asia section, with info on HRW and its sources
of funding. HRW is founded on the idea that the values of the
United States are universal, and that the US must impose them
on the rest of the world. As the largest human-rights lobby,
it is partly responsible for the increasingly expansionist US
foreign policy.




No US citizen, and no US organisation, has any right to
impose US values on Europe. No concentration camps or mass
graves can justify that imposition. But Human Rights Watch
finds it self-evident, that the United States may legitimately
restructure any society, where a mass grave is found. That was
always a widespread belief in the United States, but it is fast
becoming a consensus among the foreign policy elite. Human Rights
Watch itself is part of that elite, which includes government
departments, foundations, NGO's and academics. It is not a
association of "concerned private citizens". HRW board members
include present and past government employees, and overlapping
directorates link it to the major foreign policy lobbies in
the US. Cynically summarised, it is a joint venture of George
Soros and the State Department.

Human Rights Watch is an almost exclusively US-American
organisation. Its version of human rights is the Anglo-American
tradition. It is "mono-ethical", recognising no legitimate
ethical values outside its own. (Redistribution of wealth
is a well-known example. In the Anglo-American human-rights
tradition, seizure and redistribution of the property of the
rich is unethical. The tradition recognises no inherent value
in equality, which could override property rights).

Although I do not believe that ethical values are culturally
specific, it is true that one ethical tradition has become
associated with the United States. That includes the
universal rights set out in its Declaration of Independence
and its Constitution. In a sense the US was "designed" as an
interventionist power: interventionist human-rights organisations
are a logical result. They express the belief of most US citizens,
that their values are superior to all others.

Human Rights Watch operates a number of discriminatory exclusions,
to maintain its character.

Firstly, it is linguistically racist. Although it publishes
material in foreign languages to promote its views, the
organisation itself is English-only.

Secondly, the organisation discriminates on grounds of
nationality. As the list below makes clear, non-Americans
are systematically excluded at board level. The organisation
apparently recruits employees only in the United States,
in English. (US readers of this site may be unfamiliar with
multilingual cross-border employment, but it does exist in
Europe).

Third, the organisation discriminates on grounds of social
class. Again, the list makes clear that board members are
recruited from the upper class, and upper-middle class. Although
I traced almost all the board members professions, there are
none from middle-income occupations - let alone any poor illegal
immigrants, or Somali peasants. Human Rights Watch can therefore
claim no ethical superiority. It is itself involved in practices
it condemns elsewhere, such as discrimination in employment,
and exclusion from social structures. It can also claim no
neutrality. An organisation which will not allow a Serb or
Somali to be a board member, can give no neutral assessment of
a Serbian or Somali state. It would probably be impossible for
an all-American, English-only elite organisation, to be anything
else but paternalistic.




HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH

Helsinki Steering Committee

This is the Europe section of the Board of HRW, which is split
into sections approximately by continent. The section was
established in 1978 (in the late 1970's human rights became the
main issue in Cold War propaganda). The unit in the organisation
is called the Europe and Central Asia Division. It is affiliated
with the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights,
which co-ordinates the "Helsinki committees". Source: HRW Board
of Directors & Advisory Committees Jonathan Fanton, Chair

An academic and foundation man. Former Vice President of the
University of Chicago, in 1982 appointed as President of the New
School for Social Research, now the New School University. He
is active in building US academic contacts with eastern Europe,
directed at the new pro-western elites, see the Transregional
Center for Democratic Studies (TCDS) page. Alice H. Henkin,
Co-Vice Chair Director of the Justice and Society Program at
the Aspen Institute, an elite think-tank.

Note their report Honoring Human Rights: From Peace to Justice
proposing United Nations mission strategies later used in Kosovo.

Peter Osnos, Co-Vice Chair

George Soros' publisher. He is Chief Executive of Public Affairs
publishers.

Morton Abramowitz

A link to the US Foreign Policy establishment, one of several
at HRW. Abramowitz was U.S. Ambassador to Turkey (1989-91)
and Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research
(1985-89), among other posts: see his personal details at the
Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, where he is a Fellow. The CFR
is the heart of interventionist US policy since 1921 (and hated by
the isolationist right). He directed the CFR Balkan Economic Task
Force, which published a report on "Reconstructing the Balkans".

Barbara Finberg

A donor of HRW, see the list below. A retired vice president with
the Carnegie Corporation of New York, who donated $1 million to
Stanford University.

Felice Gaer

Human rights specialist at the American Jewish Committee and
chair of the Steering Committee for the 50th anniversary of the
UN Human Rights Declaration, see this biography:

"Ms.Gaer is Director of the Jacob Blaustein Institute for the
Advancement of Human Rights. Author, speaker, and activist,
she is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Board
of Directors of the Andrei Sakharov Foundation, a member of
the International Human Rights Council at the Carter Center,
...Vice President of the International League for Human Rights."
According to this JTA report, Gaer praised Madeleine Albright
for her "outstanding human rights record".

Felice Gaer was also a non-governmental member of the United
States delegation to a United Nations Human Rights Commission
meeting in Geneva, where (according to the Voice of America) she
denounced Sudan, saying the the U.S. "cannot accept those who
invoke Islam or other religions as justification for atrocious
human rights abuses."

However, more interesting is this speech at the Geneva meeting,
where she suggested the UN should no longer investigate prison
rapes in the US: "we would urge the Special Rapporteurs to focus
their attention on countries where the situation is the most
dire and the abuses the most severe."

Michael Gellert

Vice Chairman of the Board at Fanton's New School for Social
Research. Investment manager and Trustee of the Carnegie
Institute. Gellert is a director of Premier Parks Inc., owner
of the Six Flags and Walibi theme park chains. Also a director of:

High Speed Access Corp., Devon Energy Corporation, Humana

Inc..


Paul Goble

Director of Communications and political commentator at Radio
Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the Cold War propaganda transmitters
that survived the end of the Cold War. From their website "Free
Europe, Inc., was established in 1949 as non-profit, private
corporations to broadcast news and current affairs programs to
Eastern European countries behind the Iron Curtain. The Radio
Liberty Committee, Inc., was created two years later along
the same lines to broadcast to the nations inside the Soviet
Union. Both were funded principally by the U.S. Congress,
through the Central Intelligence Agency, but they also received
some private donations as well. The two corporations were merged
into a single RFE/RL, Inc. in 1975."

It is still funded by the US Government, through Congressional
appropriation.

Bill Green

Former Republican member of Congress, a trustee of the New
School for Social Research (where Fanton is President), with
many other public and business posts: see the biography at the
American Assembly, an academic/political think-tank.

Stanley Hoffman

A pro-interventionist theorist (of course that means US
intervention, not a Taliban invasion of the US). Professor at
Harvard, see his biography. Note that his colleagues include
Daniel Goldhagen, who openly advocated occupation of Serbia,
to impose a US-style democracy: see A New Serbia.

Robert James

Also on the Board of Human Rights in China, another Soros-funded
organisation.

Jack Matlock

US Ambassador to the Soviet Union during its collapse,
1987-1991. Author of Autopsy On An Empire: The American
Ambassador's Account of the Collapse of the Soviet Union (Random
House, 1995). Member of the large Board of Directors of the
Atlantic Council. The Atlantic Council is more than a pro-NATO
fan club: it supports an expansionist US foreign policy in
general. Note their recent paper (in pdf format) Beyond Kosovo,
a redesign of the Balkans within the framework of the proposed
Stability Pact.

The Atlantic Council list of sponsors is a delight for
corporate-conspiracy theorists. Yes, it is all paid for by the
Rockefeller foundation, the Soros foundation, the Nuclear Energy
Institute, Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, Exxon, British Nuclear
Fuels, the US Army and the European Union.

Conspiracy theorists will also be delighted to see that Matlock
attended the 1996 Bilderberg Conference.

Herbert Okun

Career diplomat, former Special Advisor on Yugoslavia to Secretary
of State Cyrus Vance, Deputy Co-Chairman of the International
Conference on the former Yugoslavia. Member of the Board of the
Lawyers Alliance for World Security (LAWS) and its affiliate the
Committee for National Security (CNS) which gives this biography:

Ambassador Herbert Okun is the U.S. member and Vice-President
of the International Narcotics Control Board, and Visiting
Lecturer on International Law at Yale Law School. Previously,
he was the Deputy Chairman on the U.S. delegation at the SALT
II negotiations and led the U.S. delegation in the trilateral
U.S.-U.K.-USSR Talks on the CTBT. From 1991 to 1993 Ambassador
Okun was Special Advisor on Yugoslavia to Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance, Personal Envoy of the U.N. Secretary General, and
Deputy Co-Chairman of the International Conference on the former
Yugoslavia. He also served as Deputy Permanent Representative
of the United States to the UN from 1985 to 1989 serving on the
General Assembly, the Disarmament Committee and the Committee on
Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. Amb. Okun was also U.S. Ambassador
to the former German Democratic Republic.

He was from 1990-97 Executive Director of the Financial Services
Volunteer Corps, "a non-profit organization providing voluntary
assistance to help establish free-market financial systems in
former communist countries", see his biography at International
Security Studies at Yale University, where he is also a board
member. This Corps is a de facto agency of USAID, see how it is
listed country-by-country in their report. Although it is not
relevant to Human Rights Watch, this curriculum vitae gives a
good impression of the kind of international elite created by
such programs.

Okun is also a member emeritus of the board of the European
Institute in Washington, an Atlanticist lobby. It organises
the European-American Policy Forum, the European-American
Congressional Forum, and the Transatlantic Joint Security Policies
Project. Okun is a special advisor to the Carnegie Commission on
Preventing Deadly Conflict funded by the Carnegie Corporation.
(It links pro-western international elite figures advocating
a formal structure for control of states by the "international
community").

Okun was a member of a Task Force (including Bianca Jagger and
George Soros) on war criminals: see their report . Although it
also demands "UN Sanctions Against States Harboring Indicted War
Criminals" it is unlikely that the Task Force members meant the
man quoted at the start of their report, President Clinton.

A curiosity: this human rights supporter is accused of an
attempt to destroy the right to free speech, in his post at the
International Narcotics Control Board: see A Duty to Censor:
U.N. Officials Want to Crack Down on Drug War Protesters in the
libertarian Reason Magazine.

Jane Olson

Also co-chair of the California section of HRW, see this
biography. One of the few who are simply human rights activists,
although her views are clearly 100% acceptable to the US
Government. She was appointed a member of the U.S. delegation to
the 1991 Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE)
in Moscow. Again note, that US citizens consider it normal
to travel to Europe, to decide on that continents Security and
Cooperation - but there is absolutely no "Conference on North
American Security and Cooperation", where Europeans arrive to
tell Americans what to do. She is also a member of the Board
of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, one of many small globalist
groups, advocating peace and some vague form of world government.

Barnett Rubin

Academic and Soros-institutes advisor. Director of the "Center
for Preventive Action" at the Council on Foreign Relations.The
center is funded by the US Government through USIP, and by
the Carnegie Corporation as part of their program Preventing
DeadlyConflict. "Preventive Action" means intervention.

He is a member of the centers South Balkans Working Group,
and edited a 1996 Council on Foreign Relations study Towards
Comprehensive Peace in Southeast Europe: Conflict Prevention in
the South Balkans. Rubin is an Afghanistan specialist, also on the
Board of the Asia division of HRW. He authored and edited several
works on Afghanistan. Rubin apparently has a curious attitude to
the Taliban, seeing them as a bulwark against Islamic radicalism.
See this letter to NPR, entitled Afghanistan Whitewash:

While the Lyden-Rubin conversation made no mention of US support
for the Taliban, they referred several times to US "pressure"
on the Taliban to now respect human rights. This is a total white
wash which distorts the historical record beyond recognition.

Rubin is on the Advisory Board of the Soros Foundation Central
Eurasia Project. He is an advisor of the Forced Migration Project
of Soros' Open Society Institute, and he is also on the Board
of the Soros Humanitarian Fund for Tajikistan. Perhaps most
interesting is that the U.S. Institute of Peace (a de facto
government agency) gave him a grant to research "formation of
a new state system in Central Eurasia". Barnett Rubin articles
on Central Asia

This may be repetitive, but note once again that there are
absolutely no Foundations or Institutes in Central Asia, which
pay people to design "new state systems" in North America. For
people like Rubin "human rights" mean simply that the US designs
the world: at the same time, the US might accept the Taliban, if
it was a strategic interest. See this article at the Soros Central
Asia site, The Political Economy of War and Peace in Afghanistan,
advocating a de facto colonial government in Afghanistan financed
by oil revenues.

Rubin is also a member of the US State Department Advisory
Committee on Religious Freedom Abroad. The Final Report of
this Committee also sums up what the United States can do,
when it finds religious freedom has been infringed. The list
begins at "friendly, persuasive: open an embassy" and ends with
"act of war".

Note also that Rubin was also involved in the 1997 New York
meeting, where the United States attempted to create a unified
Yugoslav opposition, with among others Vuk Draskovic: see my
site on Vesna Pesic or the PER site.

Leon Sigal

NOTE: I can find no website matching this info on "Leon Sigal" to
HRW. I assume it is the same person, although I do not understand
why an expert on Asian issues is on the board for the European
division of HRW. Consultant to the Social Science Research
Council, member of the Board of Advisors at Globalbeat Syndicate,
part of the New York University Dept of Journalism. See their
article on Lessons From The War In Kosovo.

From Globalbeat:
He is a former member of the Editorial Board of The New York
Times, where he wrote frequently on nuclear issues, and is the
author of many books and articles on both international security
and media issues.

Sigal authored Disarming Strangers: Nuclear Diplomacy with North
Korea (Princeton University Press 1998). He is a Project member
of the Committee on Nuclear Policy.

George Soros

>From the Public Affairs site, the biography of George Soros,
financier of HRW and of numerous organisations in eastern Europe
with pro-American, pro-market policies.

George Soros was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1930. In 1947
he emigrated to England, where he graduated from the London
School of Economics. While a student in London, Mr. Soros became
familiar with the work of the philosopher Karl Popper, who had a
profound influence on his thinking and later on his philanthropic
activities. In 1956 he moved to the United States, where he
began to accumulate a large fortune through an international
investment fund he founded and managed.

Mr. Soros currently serves as chairman of Soros Fund Management
L.L.C., a private investment management firm that serves as
principal investment advisor to the Quantum Group of Funds. The
Quantum Fund N.V., the oldest and largest fund within the
Quantum Group, is generally recognized as having the best
performance record of any investment fund in the world in its
twenty-nine-year history.

Mr. Soros established his first foundation, the Open Society
Fund, in New York in 1979 and his first Eastern European
foundation in Hungary in 1984. He now funds a network of
foundations that operate in thirty-one countries throughout
Central and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union, as
well as southern Africa, Haiti, Guatemala, Mongolia and the
United States. These foundations are dedicated to building
and maintaining the infrastructure and institutions of an open
society. Mr. Soros has also founded other major institutions,
such as the Central European University and the International
Science Foundation. In 1994, the foundations in the network spent
a total of approximately $300 million; in 1995, $350 million;
in 1996, $362 million; and in 1997, $428 million. Giving for
1998 is expected to be maintained at that level.

In addition to many articles on the political and economic changes
in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, Mr. Soros is the
author of The Alchemy of Finance, Opening the Soviet System,
Underwriting Democracy, and Soros on Soros: Staying Ahead of
the Curve.

Mr. Soros has received honorary doctoral degrees >From the
New School for Social Research, the University of Oxford, the
Budapest University of Economics, and Yale University. In 1995,
the University of Bologna awarded Mr. Soros its highest honor,
the Laurea Honoris Causa, in recognition of his efforts to promote
open societies throughout the world. Soros Foundations Network

Open Society Institute Staff Directory

Open Society Institute Budapest


Donald J. Sutherland

Also on the advisory board of the World Policy Institute.

Ruti Teitel

Professor of Constitutional Law at the New York Law School,
see his biography. In the last few years he has specialised in
the Constitutions of eastern European countries, and advised on
the new Ukrainian constitution.

William D. Zabel

George Soros legal advisor, on foundation and charity law. A
estate and family financial lawyer for the rich at Schulte, Roth,
and Zabel. His biography lists his involvement with these Soros
Foundations: "Newly Independent States and the Baltic Republics,
Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Central European University and
Open Society Fund". See this biographical article originally
from the National Law Journal: When fate knocks, rich ring for
Zabel He is a trustee of Fanton's New School of Social Research,
and member of the Advisory Board of the World Policy Institute
at the New School.

Zabel is a director of the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights. The
Lawyers Committee for Human Rights is one of the partners in the
"Apparel Industry Partnership", a group set up by the Clinton
administration and the US clothing and footwear industries to
defuse criticism of conditions in their factories. The (not
particularly radical) US trade union federation refuses to
co-operate with it.

Zabel is also on the Board of Doctors of the World, the USA
branch of Medecins du Monde, founded by Bernard Kouchner in
1980. Kouchner is now the UN Representative ( the "governor")
in Kosovo. Despite the name, Medecins du Monde is a purely
western organisation, see the affiliate list.


Warren Zimmermann

US Ambassador to Yugoslavia during its break-up, author of Origins
of Catastrophe: Yugoslavia and Its Destroyers. A Cold-War career
diplomat, long active in US human rights campaigns against eastern
Europe. See this site for an extreme pro-Bosniac assessment
of his book by Branka Magas, alleging he appeased Milosevic:
"In the event, by pursuing Yugoslavia's unity rather than
supporting Slovenia and Croatia in their demands for either the
country's confederal transformation or its peaceful dissolution,
the United States helped ensure its violent break-up". (I think
it is logically consistent with US values and interests, that the
US supported one policy around 1990 and another in Kosovo. The
real problem is that so many people in Europe expect the US to
design their states and write their Constitutions. It is because
of this attitude, that people like Zimmermann, and organisations
like HRW, can flourish) Zimmermann is now a professor of Diplomacy
at Columbia University. If you think the "amoral diplomat" is a
stereotype, look at his Contemporary Diplomacy course. This is
his assignment for the young future diplomats:

Imagine that you are a member of Secretary Albright's Policy Planning
Staff. She has asked you to write a strategy paper for one of the
following diplomatic challenges:
--Dealing with NATO expansion and with the countries affected;
--Crafting a more energetic and assertive US approach to the
Israeli-PLO deadlock;
--Raising the American profile in sub-Saharan Africa;
--Developing a US initiative to improve relations with Cuba;
--Forging an American approach to Central Asia and its energy wealth;
--Making better use of the UN and other multilateral organizations
like OSCE;
--Weighing the relative priorities between pursuing human rights and
keeping open lucrative economic opportunities;
--Increasing interest in, and support for, US foreign policy among the
American people.

With Barnett Rubin, Zimmermann is a member of the Advisory Board of
the Forced Migration Project at Soros Open Society Institute.

With Felice Gaer, Zimmermann is also on the Board of the quasi-commercial
International Dispute Resolution Associates. (Peacemaking has become
big business, but IDR is also funded by the US Government through the
USIP).

He is a Trustee of the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International
Affairs

Before the yesterday's ambush, the vodka army was warned

An official Chechen rebel website announced:

"Like eagles in the sky and like lions in the brush, the mojahedin are watching every move the Russians make," it said. "They will soon pounce on the vodka army and will teach them once again why the mountains of Shatoi are described as the 'lion's den'."

Thank you Igor for this post. If anyone claiming Turks are barbarian, or uncivilized should take note of this post. But again people make all sort of claims for all sort of unrelated reasons. Being fair or truthful is usually the last think they worry.

Shut up Turk. We feed you and protect you, so don't complain about NATO. You are barbarians, you are killing Kurds and Cyprus Greeks, but we allow you just because we need to have our military bases in Turkey. If you ever complain about those bases, and if they are ever removed, you can count us out. You will have to protect your pathetic self by yourself. The only reason you are allowed to have an opinion is because we protect you. You should shove your tongue in your rear side or we will stop protecting you and won't give you free military hardware and advice. So Turk, shut up and don't complain about USA and NATO.

Shut up Turk. We feed you and protect you, so don't complain about NATO. You are barbarians, you are killing Kurds and Cyprus Greeks, >>>

The language and stupidity of this post is giving away the real writer. It can not be ALL AMERICAN. It must be one of those Russian dogs, who keeps barking day and night, annoying the neighbours.

Hey crafty Jewess, Who gives a dam about some Jew who lost 2 fingers? what about all the THOUSANDS of innocent Chechens, Russians and others who have been slaughtered?

As I said Jews don't give dam about anyone else, The Jews religon teaches them that non Jews (goy) do not matter at all.

By the way, Jewess, will you also be writing about the thousands of Ukrainian and Russian women who have had more than just their fingers broken by your hasidic friends in Tel Aviv?
