According to Litvinenko, "Ayman al-Zawahiri trained at a Federal Security Service (FSB) base in Dagestan in 1998," before being "transferred to Afghanistan, where he became Osama bin Laden's deputy. For instance, the mounting tensions in the religious sphere in Dagestan in late 1998 and early 1999 was detected early on, but owing to perhaps the insufficient cogency of arguments or indecision on the part of federal and republican leaders, there appeared the so-called Kadarskaya zone controlled by supporters of Wahhabism. In fact, the Clinton team was bitter over the differences exposed by Kosovo and reluctant to "legitimize" Russia's second intervention in Chechnya--which followed the invasion of neighboring Dagestan by Chechen militants--or to strengthen Russian influence in Central Asia (though this very influence allowed Russia to assist the Northern Alliance and could have made it a valuable partner). |
