Putin ally says Chechen spies infiltrate Islamic State in Syria
MOSCOW | BY ANDREW OSBORN

Ramzan Kadyrov, hardline leader of Russia's Chechen region and close ally of President Vladimir Putin, said Chechen spies loyal to Moscow had infiltrated Islamic State in Syria and were gathering intelligence for Russian air force bombing strikes.

The assertion, by Ramzan Kadyrov, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, is impossible immediately to verify. But true or not, it could have the effect of stirring distrust in jihadi ranks toward Chechens and other militants from Russia and the former USSR who have joined Islamic State.

Kadyrov, who keeps tight control of Chechnya, a mostly Muslim region with a history of rebellion against Moscow, said Chechen spies had trained alongside Islamic State fighters from the start of the Syrian war.

"An extensive spy network has been set up inside Islamic State," Kadyrov's office quoted him on Monday as telling Russia's state-controlled Russia 1 channel.

He said Chechnya's "best fighters" had been sent to Syria to gather information about militants' structure and numbers.

"Thanks to their work as agents, the Russian air force is successfully destroying terrorist bases in Syria."

When asked about the comments, Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Putin, declined to confirm the presence of Chechen forces in Syria. Kadyrov's full interview on the subject is due to be broadcast on state TV on Wednesday.

Matvey Ganopolsky, a commentator for the Ekho Moskva radio station, said Kadyrov's words were impossible to check and looked to be part of a pattern of "lies and misinformation".

Islamic State in Syria posted footage in December of the murder of a man it identified as a Chechen who had been spying on them for Russian intelligence. Kadyrov, himself accused by campaign groups of human rights abuses, denied he was a spy.

Some Chechens are known to be fighting as committed jihadis on the side of Islamic State in Syria and Moscow fears they may return to attack Russia, something they have threatened to do.



CHECHEN TRAINING CAMP

Russia launched air strikes in Syria on Sept. 30 and has set up an air base to complement an existing naval facility. It has infantry and armor there to protect its assets and has military trainers and advisers working with the Syrian army.

Western diplomats have said Russian special forces are also active in Syria; Russian authorities have been coy on that.

But state TV, in a teaser broadcast on Sunday evening ahead of the full program later this week, said the time had now come to talk about the forces who were helping coordinate Russian air strikes in Syria "at the cost of their own lives".

It showed a training camp in Chechnya, which it said was where soldiers now active in Syria had honed their skills. The footage suggested Chechen special forces might also be involved in Syria as well as the spies of whom Kadyrov had boasted.

Hundreds of heavily armed men with four-wheel drive vehicles were shown lined up, with one man shown repeatedly firing a pistol as he navigated what looked like a special urban warfare training course.

Kadyrov, a former Chechen rebel turned Kremlin loyalist, was also shown firing a high-powered weapon at a target himself. He said his men in Syria had suffered losses.

Kadyrov said in October he wanted to send Chechen servicemen to Syria to take part in "special operations" but would only do so if Putin authorized such a deployment.

Russian forces fought two brutal wars against Chechen insurgents; but the region, though it still faces a limited low-level Islamist insurgency, has now been given a large measure of autonomy within Russia and been rebuilt. Kadyrov says he is one of Putin's staunchest supporters.

Modernized Mil-24/35. Note the X tail rotor:

Jeb Bush, just like his brother, appears to be clueless about whatever he is talking about:

John Kerry seems to have come to his sense, or so this Tweet claims:

Poland to join fight vs Islamic State in return for NATO help against Russia

http://www.dnaindia.com/world/repor...n-return-for-nato-help-against-russia-2176466


"Poland has joined the actions, which are now so crucial, on NATO's southern flank," Macierewicz told reporters.

Poland will join the fight against Islamic State, its defence minister said on Wednesday, though he signalled that the scale of its involvement would depend on NATO's response to Russia's renewed assertiveness on the alliance's eastern flank.

The announcement, made by Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz after a meeting with US Defense Secretary Ash Carter in Brussels, confirmed an earlier Reuters report that Poland would boost its Middle East involvement in an attempt to convince its allies to shift NATO forces eastwards.

"Poland has joined the actions, which are now so crucial, on NATO's southern flank," Macierewicz told reporters. "When it comes to details ... we will continue to discuss it, particularly as we consider it in the broad context of NATO's situation, hoping that both the US and NATO as a whole will back Poland and other countries on the eastern flank with their ... permanent presence."

Alarmed by Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula in 2014 and its support for armed separatists in eastern Ukraine, Poland hopes NATO will agree at a summit in Warsaw in July to send more troops to former communist eastern Europe.

NATO agreed on Wednesday its boldest steps yet to deter Russia from any attack in the Baltics or elsewhere in eastern Europe, setting out ways to rapidly deploy air, naval and ground forces without resorting to Cold War-era military bases.

The United States and its allies are bombing Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq, where the militant group occupies swathes of territory.

Poland's contribution to the campaign against Islamic State could involve reconnaissance and training, Macierewicz said.

It's too late since US-backed "babays" have rejected the peace conference.
Now Russian VKS will rip them off.

I like to read these articles and LOL. Its just so funny to see these americans frustrated. Look at the way they write to try and manipulate the masses.

for e.g. an extract from the above article "The Russians claim that they are cutting off weapons-supply corridors, but they are actually cutting off humanitarian corridors, so at the very least they need to put their money where their mouth is and open up the humanitarian corridors immediately to all of these besieged areas that the U.N. has identified," Brett McGurk, the U.S. envoy to the anti-ISIS coalition, told a Congressional hearing Wednesday.
