I got to know it quite by chance. Our Canadian citizen an ethnic Arab Redvan Halil if my memory doesn’t fail me was killed in a faraway Russian Chechnya. Fancy he was in the Chechen rebels’ ranks! The guy left Canada for Saudi Arabia to visit his relative getting married. Then he made his way straight into that Chechnya to die there. He was only 26. Why did he act this way? Why Chechnya? He’d rather stay here in safety. Far as I know there are lots of immigrants here and they are pretty well with nobody subduing them. Well these very Chechens are quite well-off here. This whole story with Halil looks fishy enough. This is such a long way from here to Chechnya. During this disaster in Beslan there were some Arabs and even a Negro among the attackers. I gather Chechens have been recruiting men worldwide and this is a large scale process indeed. Their methods and financial footage are just in the realm of sci-fi. Then I an under strong impression that many Chechens are not striving to fight in reality. Perhaps some of them don’t believe in their claimed course any more. Amd some of them are definitely have got too much money. Amnd with your pockets stuffed with bucks you are going to live long happily life instead of dying somewhere in sideway pit. Many Chechens here have developed liking for comfortable life. They can afford luxuries that even or local tycoons have no access to. There is only one irritant with them and that is ‘racketeering’. Oddly enough but they don’t want to sort it out at the police. This prompts me think this racketeering is of the Chechen origin too. My idea is that Chechen terrorists are pressing their own fat cats for more money on recruiting and operations of the Beslan like. Perhaps there is the same picture in Europe. That’s why they are giving somewhat cool welcome to Chechens coming there and oppose so intensely new chechne refugee camps on their soil. Beslan was an eye-opening experience for many.
