Spetsnaz Sniper and Soldiers Diffuse Roadside Bomb
by admin on May.02, 2009, under Chechen War Footage, Sptesnaz
Interesting video of a Spetsnaz Sniper laying down cover for Russian Engineers that find and diffuse a roadside bomb. It seems this is one of the major threats facing Russian security forces and Militia members in their fight against the Chechen Rebels. Not sure what the sniper in this video is shooting at or if he hit anything but you can be sure that since the bomb does not seem like a pressure activated device, that the rebels aren’t too far off waiting to detonate it remotely. Good video, it turns out well for all those involved.

Here is footage I have never seen from the Moscow Theater siege that apparently tells the story of the FSB and Spetsnaz response to the terrorist takeover.
If someone can help with the translations of the most important parts that would be great.
Akhmad Kadyrov Nearly Assassinated by Bomb Blast
by admin on May.15, 2003, under Chechen War News
Today in the village of liskhan-Yurt, a village about 20 miles east of Grozny, Chechen Rebels attempted to assassinate Akhmad Kadyrov with a bomb attack. Kadyrov was not hurt but 4 of his bodyguards were killed in the blast. The attack came in the form of suicide bombers carried out by two female perpetrators hiding the explosives on their persons. At least 15 people were killed including the attackers and more than 150 were injured.
Kadyrov was attending a religious festival honoring the birth of the Prophet Muhammad with thousands of fellow Muslims. A woman said she wanted to speak to Kadyrov because her sons had disappeared. When she was stopped, she detonated the explosives hidden on her person. Another a second bomb did not explode and was detonated by authorities afterword.
