 Once, while watching the events in Budennovsk on the television set, I thought, as many in Kazakhstan do now - that this was all far away and it would never touch me. But the three huge acts of terror in the world - the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York, the seizure of hostages at the Moscow theater at Dubrovka, and the seizure of hostages at the school in Beslan - each of them brought grief to families in Kazakhstan.
Many in Kazakhstan have relatives, children, friends, and loved ones who travel to Russia and to Moscow. At any moment one of them can find him or herself in the same situation that we, Svetlana Gubareva and Natasha Gutnova, did.
I could not save my family, and I lost that, which I held most dear in life. No amount of money can ever replace this. What I am now doing is an attempt to protect others, so that they might not be poisoned with gas, as was my daughter Alexandra Letyago in that Moscow theater, so that they might not be blasted by tanks, as was Zaur Gutnov in that Beslan school.

 Almost simultaneously in Makhachkala and Chelyabinsk, law enforcement officials detained several armed citizens of Kazakhstan who had come (to Russia) to take part in the jihad. Until recently, hunters of human cannon fodder could feel completely at ease in Kazakhstan. As a reporter for 'Nasha Versiya' found out, extremists from the Caucasus not only managed to create an extensive network of training bases where new Kazakh militants are taught to use weapons and explosives, but they were also able to set up transit routes to send them to Russia's southern regions.

A Kazakhstani was on a list of 52 suicide bombers being prepared for terrorist attacks in the Russian Federation. Life News has in its possession a unique list of the most dangerous terrorists of the North Caucasus. In it, the security services name 52 militants as potentially ready to commit acts of terrorism anywhere in the Russian Federation. The complete list of suspects consists mainly of natives of the North Caucasus, mostly from Ingushetia. Among the most “active” were the republics of Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkaria. “Weaker” than others were the Stavropol territory, Karachay-Cherkessia, and Chechnya — Life News lists no more than 3 or 4 names from the latter three regions.
