 Russian Wahhabi Vitaly Razdobudko and his common-law wife Maria Khorosheva, both suspected of twin terrorist attacks on February 14th in the Dagestani village of Gubden, videotaped messages before their deaths. This became known after their respective recordings appeared on a video-sharing site and were copied to a number of extremist websites. Investigators intend to append these recordings to the criminal case.Maria Khorosheva’s video message lasts seven and a half minutes, and appeared online on February 22nd. The recording of her common-law husband, Vitaly Razdobudko, lasts about an hour, and was uploaded the following day. Khorosheva was taped sitting in front of wall draped with a white blanket, her bowed head covered in gray cloth. She utters words of reproach to Muslims who do not yet support the Mujahideen. Vitaly Razdobudko’s tape also summons viewers to fight against ‘infidels’, although in his monologue, which he gives while sitting behind the wheel of Lada Priora, lasts much longer, and is replete with numerous quotes from the Koran. In the first part of the recording, the terrorist makes frequent pauses, and stutters while quoting verses from the Muslim holy book, and instead of making any logical connection between the verses, he constantly uses such word-parasites as ‘in general’ to move from one disconnected thought to another. A companion dressed in a tracksuit held the camcorder, and the frame constantly wanders from the subject: first picking out an assault rifle inside the dark interior the car, and then the dashboard. In the second part of the recording, Razdobudko often leafs through the pages of the Koran to find the right verse, while the video operator in one part focuses the camera in a close up of the dash, where a mysterious glowing green switch is visible, installed there specifically to trigger an explosive device. The bomb is shown at the end of the recording, when the video leaves the car interior and shows the opened trunk: “And for our enemies, we have prepared a new gift.” Both recordings are preceded with a frame, titled: “Riyadh-s-Salikhin martyrs battalion.” The same organization claimed responsibility for the on January 24th at Domodedovo airport. After that terrorist attack, militant websites carried a recordings of speeches by suicide bomber Magomed Yevloyev and the two supposed organizers of the attack, Doku Umarov and a certain man named Khamzat, who called himself the commander of the ‘Riyadh-s-Salikhin’. It is almost certain that the February 14th terrorist attack in Gubden was committed by Stavropol region native Maria Khorosheva, according to a report made the following day by the Investigative Committee of Russia (ICR). Recall that Khorosheva tried to enter a building housing the Gubden village police department, but was stopped by Interior Ministry soldiers on duty by a swinging-arm gate. At this point the suicide bomber or her associates set off her bomb. The explosion killed one soldier and another five were injured. It was later reported by representatives from the Interior Ministry that the dead and injured soldiers prevented a perhaps even more bloody terrorist attack, had Khorosheva managed to enter the building where there were several dozen of security officials at work. Since the bomb was not very powerful, Khorosheva, who had earlier been put on the most-wanted list for suspicion of involvement in the preparation of the New Year’s Eve bombings in Moscow, was initially identified visually, and then, according to other data, by DNA testing. Identification of the second suicide bomber, who was blown up together with a Lada Priora that had been stopped by police on the outskirts of Gubden (one police officer was killed and another 20 injured), was delayed. The explosion of this powerful bomb tore the suicide bomber to shreds. He was apparently driving to the scene of the first attack, where an operational investigative group was at work. Yesterday, ‘Kommersant’ reported that the ICR had still not identified the terrorist who was driving the Priora, since after the explosion there were many small fragments that had to be sent in for genetic examination. In this case, a source told ‘Kommersant’, the video posted on the Internet by the terrorists would be appended to the criminal case. In the newspaper ‘Kommersant’, #34 (4575) 02/26/2011
