Shamil Basayev on Channel 4
Excellent siberianlight.net reports Shamil Basayev's interview with Channel 4 news in February 2005. The following from siberianlight:
I've just sat through the Channel 4 broadcast, which showed edited excerpts from an hour-long interview. My first impressions are that, despite rumours of ill health, he looks in relatively good shape, although as he was seated this is hard to tell for sure. His mental health though, I'm not so sure. What, really, can you make of a man who talks impassively of the deaths of hundreds of children while sitting cradling a grenade launcher and wearing a shirt prominently displaying the logo "anti-terror"?
The Russian embassy in Washington has made a sharp statement about ABC News company’s broadcasting an interview with Chechen terrorist Shamil Basayev. “The fact that the television company ABC News has decided to ignore the arguments of the Russian embassy against the broadcasting of the interview with international terrorist Shamil Basayev causes indignation,” the embassy said in its statement to ABC.
