While Jihadists of the Islamic State continue to occupy big parts of Syria, Chechens swear faith to the Islamic State and threat of invading Russia and taking revenge against its President Vladimir Putin.
According to Bloomberg, during a telephone conversation between one of the top military leaders of the Islamic State and his father, the plans of the extremists are revealed. Allegedly the son told his father over the phone. ” Don’t worry dad, I will come back home take care of the Russians . I have hundreds by my side to support me and I will have even more soon enough. We will take revenge against the Russians”.
We are already familiar with the bond that the Chechen separatists have with the Jihadists of the Islamic State. Last September the Islamic State extremists through a video had warned of intergrading Chechnya to the Islamic Caliphate.
According to Bloomberg report, there are currently estimated to be between 200-1000 Chechens in Syria fighting on the side of extremists of the Islamic State.
At the same time, last month a video was published with the men of the Islamic State calling of an attack against Russia and “liberation” of Chechnya and Caucasus.
