The prosecutor’s office has ceased its investigation into the terror act at Dubrovka

As became known yesterday, the investigation into the circumstances of the terror act in the theatrical center on Dubrovka in Moscow, where 125 persons died, has been brought to a stop. The formal reason for this was the impossibility of determining the whereabouts of two of the terrorists’ accomplices – Gerihan Dudayev and Hassan Zakayev. In the investigators’ resolution to suspend the case, it was noted that the organizer of the terror act was Shamil Basayev, who died from his own carelessness and not as a result of an FSB special operation. Igor Trunov, who represents the victims, intends to appeal the resolution.

Radio ‘Echo of Moscow’ news

Igor Trunov, the lawyer representing the victims of the terror act, told radio station ‘Echo of Moscow’ that the decision by the Moscow prosecutor’s office is difficult to explain. “The fact is, that there really was no investigation.” As Trunov explained, “the Moscow prosecutor’s resolution states that the investigation was being suspended because they were unable to determine the whereabouts of the accused. The document even reports that two persons are on the ‘wanted’ list.”

From another standpoint, the investigators determined that there were 52 terrorists. Forty of these were killed during the special operation, so it turns out that 12 got away. Two are on the ‘wanted’ list, but where the other 10 are is not known at all.

Questions were sent in while we were on the air at Echo of Moscow, most of which we were unable to answer. As I promised, I am answering these on the site. If anyone still has questions, please ask, and I will try to answer them.

How goes the investigation into the case of the deaths at Dubrovka? Have they brought to task the special services employees who conducted the operation?
