Osama Bin Laden II emerges to sponsor Islamic extremism

Islamic extremists have got another Osama Bin Laden! Moscow's popular daily, Nezavisimaya Gazeta , has quoted Omar Baqr Ahmed, a Britain-based Syrian, as having told a news conference in London he had forwarded a hundred thousand pounds to Muslim fighters in Chechnya and that the international Islamic outfit he headed had militant training centres both in the UK and the US.

Pakistanis, Afghans, and Turks underwent intensive training at these centres before they left for Chechnya, which received 200 militants belonging to his outfit every year, he said.

According to Russian defence sources, up to 1,500-2,000 foreign mercenaries were at present fighting in the restive province against federal forces.

Ahmed's Islamic militant organisation, the pro-west paper said in its Monday edition, is banned in his home country.  UNI
