Chechnya

Chechnya Dept: Much of the slaughter in Chechnya was murder at close quarters. The Chechens killed Russians with great exuberance. Lacking other means, they primarily used crude homemade bombs, booby traps, snipers and assault weapons. The Russian troops were often drunk, demoralized and badly led. They mostly fought back with cannon fire, heavy artillery and attack aircraft, which they used promiscuously and indiscriminately to kill civilians, according to Montreal Gazette. These doubts have been fed by the fact the brothers personal connection to Chechnya is tenuous. They never actually lived there so had no first-hand experience of the super-violence that reigned for years in that mountain redoubt during the 1990s and LONDON The most savage wars that I have witnessed were the Rwandan genocide and the two Chechen wars. The FBI and CIA are obsessed right now with the riddle of why Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, ethnic Chechens whose historic enemy has been Russia, allegedly chose to attack last Monday Boston Marathon. As the young brothers spent many of their formative years in New England whereas Republican immigration critics have scathingly noted their family had been granted asylum there has already been some American self-flagellation over why it alleged, as U.S. President Barack Obama asked Friday, they did resort to such violence?
