's gang was detained in Karachay-Cherkessia on suspicion of killing 15 military men, the FSB said.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the investigation periodically reports on new participants in the case of the attack on Pskov paratroopers in Chechnya in 2000. So, at the end of March, the Stavropol citizen was charged in this case. The investigation believes that he, as part of the gang of Shamil Basayev, participated in the attack on the Pskov paratroopers.

A former member of the Shamil Basayev and Khattab group was detained in the Nogai district of Karachay-Cherkessia, RIA Novosti writes with reference to the FSB of Russia.

According to the department, the detainee is Dzhumagishiev Abdullyalim, born in 1981. "An irrefutable evidence base has been formed for his participation in the armed attack by Basayev and Khattab gangs on servicemen of the RF Armed Forces in October 1999 near the village of Chervlennaya, Shelkovsky district of the Chechen Republic," the FSB said.

Dzhumagishiev was brought to the preliminary investigation body. He was charged under articles 209 (banditry), 279 (armed rebellion) and 317 (encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer) of the Criminal Code of Russia. A preventive measure in the form of arrest was chosen, Interfax reports.

Recall that on the night of March 1, 2000, soldiers of the sixth company of the 104th regiment of the 76th Guards Airborne Division entered into battle in Chechnya with a large detachment of Shamil Basayev and Khattab.

For about a day, the company held back the onslaught of about 2,000 militants who tried to break out of the encirclement. Then 84 out of 90 servicemen died, 370 militants were killed. Among the reasons for the tragedy, analysts cite corruption and incompetence of the command and officers, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report" Fight for Hill 776: how the Pskov paratroopers died."
