Again, this article will not be
related to the
structure, clans, their interrelations, and KGB
basis in Putin’s current regime. This essay is a
sequel of the previous piece which aimed to
take another glimpse at Putin’s suspicious links
with international terrorism.
This time I decided
to draw attention to a
significant role (which was a surprise for many
experts) of Chechen terrorists in a battle of
Islamic state that has become a main threat to
the West. Based on this role, it is not only
possible, but vital to examine the potential li
nks
between the Islamic state and Russian secret
services.
One of the inspiration sources was the article
published in ‘The Huffington Post’ called ‘You
Can't Understand ISIS If You Don't Know the
History of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia’. It was
written by Alastair Crooke, a famous expert of
the Middle East terrorism, a former diplomat
and a ranking figure in British intelligence MI-6
That article is definitely worth reading for all of
those who want to understand more about the
phenomenon and threats of the
Islamic state.
And I don’t even consider arguing with the
famous expert, especially when I, myself, do not
aspire a career of terrorism expert.
However, after long years of exploring Putin’s
current regime and it’s KGB roots, I believe that
Crooke’s
headline can be rephrased like this: ‘Is
it really possible to fully understand the
phenomenon of the Islamic state without paying
attention to the alleged links between Russian
secret services and Chechen terrorists?’
