FAZ: Chechen Islamist kidnappers of bishops

In an article signed by Rainer Hermann in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, dated 03.18.2014, in the printed version denounced the kidnapper and possible assassin of Bishops in Aleppo.

In the caliphate of whites (Caucasian) the beheadings were something usual. In that place reined the terror of Abu al Banat. Today he is in custody in Turkish prison.

The white terror of the Chechen Magomed Abdurakhmanov in Syrian city of Mashhad Ruhin kept only a few months. His bloody actions ended ingloriously in June 2013 when the notoriously violent jihadist crossed the Turkish borders. He is considered as one of the leaders of the bloodthirsty organization "Islamic State of Iraq and M. East" (Isis) consisting of heavily armed fighters.

Their small emirate was a well-trained 70 fighter's faction, within the ISIS, called the "Jaish al Muhajiroun wal-Ansar" (Army of Emigrants and Supporters).

The term Supporters (ansar) denotes the inhabitants of Medina who helped Muhammad and his followers which were emigrants from Mecca (muhajiroun) for the conquest of Mecca.

Certainly, the author notes "the way in which the Abdurakhmanov brought terror is an important testimony to the work of Al-Qaïda in northern Syria. In a horrendous video, showned the Caucasians to involved in the decapitation of three Syrians. "Abdurakhmanov who fighting under the pseudonym Abou al Banat, was the one who kidnapped the two bishops of Aleppo in April 2103 and probably killed them."

His curriculum vitae, is similar to the ones of other jihadists of Caucasus.

He was born on 24.10.1974 in a small town in the Russian Republic of Dagestan which borders with Chechnya. He was police officer. He had been significantly influenced by the Chechen terrorist Doku Oumarov who proclaimed leader of the "Emirate of Caucasus" in 2007. The Islamist site "Kavkazcenter" which considered a mean of the same organization, announced on Tuesday the death of its leader. The news broadcasted by Russian media which not referred to the place of his death and said that the rumors talk about poisoning. He was in the list of strains Al-Qaïda who had drafted the UN.

In 2010 Abdurakhmanov the kidnapper and killer of bishops traveled from Moscow to Egypt and become more radical during his stay in Alexandria. "We can assume that in the summer of 2012 he joined with jihadists in Syria and adopted the pseudonym Abou al Banat (the father of the girl).

The white jihadis had the distinctive beard and was active in the small town of Mashhad Ruhin which was under his absolute control. The town is just some kilometers away from the Turkish - Syrian border and more specifically near the gate Bab al Hawa (air gate) in the highway that links the Turkish city Reyhanli with Aleppo. Noteworthy, these were the border which passed the Greek Syrian bishop of Aleppo Paul in order to meet with the bishop Johannes. Abou al Banat along with Astrakhan Shamil Ismailov (born in 1980) who was renamed as Abu Khalif created a small brigade. He proclaimed the area as his emirate. He imposed Shari'a, married a Syrian and had integrated into Al-Qaïda through ISIS.

Abu al Banat was number 4 of ISIS. He stated his allegiance to Abou Omar al Koweït (No3). In "Jaish al Muhajiroun wal-Ansar" fought initially 200 white extremists in accordance with the specific analyst on Syria Lebanon Muhammad Ballout. At their headquarters was discovered a tomb with 45 victims. The number 2 was Abou Omar al Shishani the "emir of Great Aleppo". He is related to the judge in the video and identified as the Doku Oumarov. He was born in 1986 in Pankisi Valley in Georgia. The senior leader of bloodthirsty ISIS is Abou Bakr Al Baghdad.

The article states that according to some sources, the bishops are allegedly dead, but according to other sources they live and detained by the Chechen islamists-fascists.
