Come to think of it, it doesn't have much to do with
liberation of oppressed peoples at all. Amazing what
you get when you google on "Chechnya" and "Islamic
caliphate."

"Pakistan's jehadi penetration of Central Asia was
conducted through Harkat-ul-Jehad-Al-Islami led by
Qari Saufullah Akhtar of Pakistan and based in
Kandahar. The outfit with a wide network of seminaries
and camps in Pakistan was close to Mullah Omer (Amir
of the Taliban) because of its early allegiance to
Maulvi Nabi Muhammadi whose own Harkat activists
formed the new Taliban cadres.  These were the men
often called  "Punjabi Taliban".
Harkat-ul-Jehad-al-Islami was the Taliban spearhead in
Central Asia and the Caucasus.The leader of the
Harkat-ul-Jehad-Al-Islami in Uzbekistan was Sheikh
Muhammad Tahir al-Farooq.  Twenty-seven of its
fighters were killed in battle against Uzbek President
Islam Karimov, as explained in the Islamabad-based
journal "Al Irshad".  The war against Uzbekistan was
bloody and was supported by the Taliban till in 2001
the commander had to ask the Pakistanis in Uzbekistan
to return to the base."

KARACHI, Feb 9: The chief of the Islamic Movement of
Chechnya, Zelimkhan Yanderbiyev, said on Wednesday
night that Pakistan was the only country which had the
capability to lead the Muslim countries in their
efforts to establish an Islamic Caliphate.

Terming the establishment of the Caliphate as the need
of the hour, he said if the Islamic countries joined
hands for the purpose all their problems, including
Kashmir and Chechnya, would be resolved.

Vladimir Putin reminded that in Chechnya Russia had to
cope with the expansion of international terrorism and
Islamic extremism. According to him, the ideas of
creating an Islamic caliphate differ little from Nazi
ideas of world domination or those of a Communist
victory in the whole of the world. He also reminded
that back in 1996 Chechnya was actually granted
independence. Yet three years later radically-minded
groups used the republic as a stronghold for attacking
neighboring Dagestan. To stop the aggression and
prevent destabilization of the situation in Russia a
decision was taken to move military operations on to
the territory of Chechnya.

If State Department claims about Arab money funding
the Chechen insurrection are credible, there is reason
to believe that money from Saudi Arabia, Wahabbism?s
spiritual center, may be helping to build a solid core
of Taliban-style activists in the North Caucasus. "The
Saudis are getting a good ideological bang for the
buck," says Stephen Blank, MacArthur Research
Professor at the United States Army War College.
Khattab, a notorious Arab fighter in the north
Caucasus, died in the summer of 2002. A Saudi field
commander with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, who
goes by the nom-de-guerre Abu-Walid, seems to have
taken his place. News reports suggest that terrorists
recently apprehended in France had trained in
Chechnya.

I could go on, and on, and on, and on again. There
used to be a lot of this stuff on the Taliban's
website back when it had a website.
