| 2002-05-21 |
| Three Chechen militants have pleaded innocent of terror acts against a Russian anti-terrorist group in Chechnya, saying field commanders forced them to perpetrate them. The Stavropol territorial court was shown video taped subversive actions, including the efforts to blow up a bridge across the Sunzha river and a railroad. Idris Batalov, Arbi Tashayev and Aslan Shepiyev were involved in the above actions. "Honest, y'honor! They made us do it!" |
