Ocherkhadzhi: Khalidov is agent of Norwegian special agencies
Magomed Ocherkhadzhi, one of the leaders of Chechen community in Norway, who, according to Ruslan Khalidov, a native of Chechnya, should have been killed by the latter under the alleged order of Ramzan Kadyrov, said that Khalidov himself had been recruited by Norwegian special agencies.
Mr Ocherkhadzhi said that Ruslan Khalidov is a rather well-known figure in Norway, since he was the main witness in the case of the Chechens' attack on Kurds in the hostel for refugees in Norway: "He was the witness of the prosecution, and the case was opened based on his words. Some 15 Chechens were accused, many of them were imprisoned. After that, he became an agent of Norwegian special agencies. Now, about 8 thousand Chechens live in Norway, and he misled the authorities as to the internal status of the Chechen community," Magomed Ocherkhadzhi, a refugee from Chechnya, asserts in his interview to the "Gazeta.Ru".
According to Mr Ocherkhadzhi when Khalidov told him about the prepared attempt, he said that he worked for Kadyrov and for FSB via Kadyrov, and reported about the staff of Kadyrov's security, location of bases, barracks and prisons.
The press service of Chechen President, in its turn, made a statement, in which it accused certain foreign and domestic media of unleashing a campaign with the aim to discredit the leadership of Chechnya by promulgating information about its alleged involvement in murders.
