Rebel web site reports punitive raids throughout Chechnya
7 May: Mass bombings in [Chechnya's] mountainous districts have been continuing for several days and the villages of Alleroy, Galayty, Ishkhoy-Yurt and Yalkhoy-Mokhk have been blockaded. A large-scale operation is currently under way in Chechnya's Kurchaloyevskiy, Nozhay-Yurtovskiy and Gudermesskiy Districts. The security service of the [pro-Moscow Chechen President Akhmat] Kadyrov administration, patrol services, OPON [Special Purpose Police Detachment] and the private security regiment of the republican Interior Ministry are involved in punitive raids against the local population in districts where numerous great clashes have taken place in the last few days. Modern obstacle detachments of Russian mercenaries - murderers - control the implementation of bloody acts. Units of collaborators have become a target for those who they betrayed and for their Russian "bosses". Manhunts, arrests and shootings occur everyday. [Passage omitted: The pro-Moscow administration is to mark 9 May in the Chechen capital, Groznyy]
