Интервью на телеканале Russia Today по нападению на здание парламента в Грозно, Чечня Доброе утро, мои уважаемые подписчики. Вас приветствует постоянный ведущий крупнейшей в мире политической рассылки на русском языке Национальная и государственная безопасность кандидат политических наук, научный сотрудник Института мировой экономики и международных отношений Российской академии наук Игорь Игоревич Хохлов. В прямом эфире спутникового телеканала Russia Today я выступил с интервью в связи с нападением на здание парламента в городе Грозный, Чечня. A group of gunmen has attacked the parliament of Russia's republic of Chechnya leaving at least three people killed in the assault. According to Russia's Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliev, who is in the Chechen capital at the moment, the victims are two militiamen and one civilian. The latest reports say that at least 17 people have been wounded. The injured include six police officers and 11 civilians. According to investigative committee on Tuesday morning cars with deputies entering the territory of the parliament were followed by a car carrying terrorists. At least one suicide blast followed and up to three gunmen managed to break into the building and open fire. According to the country's law enforcement agency all of them have been killed. Political analyst Igor Khokhlov says that terrorist organizations in Afghanistan and Pakistan see Chechnya, Ingushetia and other Russian republics as the gateway to the greater Caucasus and further expansion into Europe. "In this context the ongoing war in Afghanistan -- and Americans are likely to lose this war quite soon -- could have disastrous consequences all over the world. And what we have seen today in Grozny is actually one of the consequences of the instability in the whole region," he said. The Chechen Republic has been relatively safe from terrorist attacks in cities, with militants mostly hiding in rural areas and targeting villages from time to time. One of the largest-scale of such incidents this year was the attack on Ramzan Kadyrov's hometown Tsentoroy in August. Some 20 to 30 militants armed with assault rifles, grenade launchers and explosives stormed the settlement. The attack and the subsequent police operation resulted in six policemen being killed and 18 wounded. Seven local residents were hurt too. 12 attackers were killed by police, with the remainder retreating into the mountains. The most recent bombing attack in the Chechen capital Grozny was in late June, when a suicide bomber set off an explosion near a police car. Several people were wounded by the shrapnel, but the terrorist himself was the only fatality. The last hostage situation Chechnya was in late August, when a militant lost his nerve during an identity check. He managed to barricade himself in a nearby house, taking three people hostage. Police lost one officer during the rescue operation, but no civilians were hurt. |
