Dissatisfied with Correspondents in Moscow, Media Takes News Directly from KC
Publication time: Today at 11:07 Djokhar time
A prominent Basque news agency in present-day Spain, Euskalherria, started printing tallies of Russian casualties in Chechnya taking them directly from the Kavkaz Center English-language Web site.
Thus, on September 1, 2006, it published in Spanish translation a report of the Chechen Military Command citing the Kavkaz Center.
Unlike Reuters, AP or Europa Press (Spain), Euskalherria does not change terminology and leaves, for example, Mujahideen as Mujahideen, without turning them into "militants", "rebels" or "insurgents" as foreign correspondents in Moscow always do in their one-sided and biased dispatches.

The media, politicians and teachers had questioned why the top prize should be a trip to Moscow, the then capital of the Soviet Union, which ordered the bloody suppression of the uprising in 1956. The final of the quiz tournament will be held on October 23, the 50th anniversary of the uprising, when dozens of world leaders are expected in Budapest to attend the official commemoration.

And Quiet Flow Russian Faeces Past the Kremlin... Publication time: 16 September 2006, 17:52 An explosion ripped through a sewage plant in a town outside Moscow on Saturday, killing one to three persons, injuring 12 and leaving two missing. Authorities did not know what caused the blast in the town of Pavshino, about 5 kilometers (3 miles) beyond Moscow's western periphery. The explosion completely destroyed the three-story building. It was so powerful that the sound of it was heard in western Moscow. Russian authorities say that 100 liters of a solvent or a heating oil containing fluid dumped into a sewage pit were enough to cause the explosion, hinting at a possible diversion. A stinking smell from faeces prevail in the area. The Russians fear that the released faeces come again into the Moskva river flowing past the Kremlin. In May 2005, a diversion group of Chechen Mujahideen under the command of Amir Shamil Basayev blew ... >> full

Three Years in US Guantanamo Death Camp for Aid to Chechnya Publication time: Today at 13:29 Djokhar time In Enemy Combatant, co-authored with Victoria Brittain, Moazzam Begg becomes the first prisoner to give book-length voice to the experience of being on the other side of America's "war on terror". Begg's memoir details the three years he spent as a U.S.-held detainee in Afghanistan and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, before being released without charges in his native Great Britain. A devout Muslim, he grew in a secular middle-class immigrant family in Birmingham, England. Increasingly, he found meaning and purpose in Muslim causes - raising money and traveling to provide aid to Muslim fighters in Bosnia, Chechnya and Afghanistan. In the fall of 2001, Begg had just moved his family to Afghanistan, which he hoped would provide a cheap and welcoming Muslim environment in which to raise his children. Instead, he and his family were caught in ... >> full
