Bukharievich Movsar Baraev is a Chechen executioner. He was an accomplice to several major terrorist attacks and commander of the Islamic regiment. The whole world learned about this man when he and his accomplices took hostages in Moscow in 2002.
Bukharievich Movsar Baraev: biography and activities
Movsar was born on October 26, 1976. The homeland of the terrorist is the Chechen-Ingush Republic, the city of Argun. Arbi Barayev was Movsar's uncle. He led the Islamic Special Forces Regiment, and his nephew followed the example of his uncle. So the guy began to learn the basics of war.
The father of Barayev Movsar Bukharievich is Suleymanov Bukhari Akhmedovich, and his mother was called Larisa Baraeva. In addition to the terrorist himself, his family had three more children: the girls Fatima and Raisa, as well as the boy Movsan.
The beginning of terrorist acts
Arbi and Movsar Basayev began to actively communicate when the future terrorist came under the command of an uncle in the Islamic Regiment. At that time, the guy was eighteen years old. Movsar Barayev carried out a huge number of tasks regarding the armed separatist units. And some time later, Movsar was appointed bodyguard of Arbi Baraev.
In 1998, the future terrorist expressed a desire to participate in the armed clash in Gudermes. During the military operation, the guy was seriously injured. In it, the young Movsar spoke on the side of the Shariah guard of Mezhidov. The next combat mission did not make the guy wait either. This time young Movsar fought against the federal forces.
In 2001, in the Chechen village, Movsar Barayev was appointed head of the jamaat. Behind the terrorist is not one attack on the columns of Russian soldiers. In these military operations, the guy took not only an active part, but also had a great desire to make as many provocations as possible. The attacks in Urus-Martan, Grozny and Gudermes were also provoked by Movsar Baraev.
Erroneous and true death
In August 2001, the Russian Federal Service issued a verdict that the Chechen terrorist was killed. However, after some time, videos began to appear on the Internet with the participation of Movsar Baraev. After that, the special service admitted that it hastened to conclusions, and recognized the terrorist alive.
It is worth noting that in the fall of 2002, Russia re-announced that Movsar was dead. And they also did not provide significant evidence of the death of a terrorist. In fact, the Chechen executioner was alive. In the same year, Movsar arrived in Moscow with his group on the orders of Shamil Basayev.
On October 23, 2002, Movsar Barayev and his terrorist group committed the capture of people. Everything happened at the Moscow House of Culture. During the negotiations, the terrorists put forward their demand: to end the hostilities in Ichkeria. The death of Movsar Barayev happened three days later during the assault on a famous building.
Terrorist attack "Nord-Ost"
October 23, 2002 was imprinted in the memory of many Russian families and not only. On this day, many people decided to visit the Moscow House of Culture to relax and watch the next premiere of the musical. No one suspected an impending threat. After some time, a terrorist group with the participation of Movsar Baraev captured the spectators who were in the theater. Many representatives of federal services immediately realized who carried out the attack on Dubrovka. After that Movsar began to put forward demands. All this dragged on for three days.
On October 26, 2002, Russian troops began the following actions: freeing hostages and neutralizing an illegal group. As you know, many invaders were killed and most of the hostages were released. However, those who died were not involved in the conflict. All remained close and dear.
Plan of a large-scale terrorist attack in Russia
Chechen terrorist Baraev Movsar Bukhariyevich took active assistance in the terrorist operation in the House of Culture. The plan of the attack was developed at the headquarters of President Aslan Maskhadov. The operation consisted of two important parts: the capture of theatergoers and a series of explosions.
Of course, it was planned to arrange explosions in crowded places. The group had the option of starting an inconspicuous car with explosives. The heads of the Chechen group appointed Movsar Barayev as the main one for the attack.
As mentioned earlier, the illegal group chose the Moscow House of Culture as its target. It is there that on certain days there are a huge number of people. However, the terrorists were considering other options. But they stopped there. The building is far from the center, it had several utility rooms and a huge concert hall.
What weapon was used?
The Chechen group brought weapons and explosives into Russia with the help of cars. To avoid this, they were hidden under apples. The bandits carried the forbidden weapons in parts using different brands of cars. As for the group, its members reached their destination in various ways.
Later it became known that the terrorists reached Moscow in three ways: by train to the Kazan station, by plane and by bus. Movsar Barayev arrived in the city by train. The group planned that fifty people would be involved in the attack. Of these, a large number of women.
Act of terrorism
When an illegal group was about to capture civilians, 800 people were in the hall of the Moscow House of Culture. On the appointed day at 21:15 three cars drove up to the target of capture. They contained terrorists who later burst into the hall.
A little later, special services announced official data: 912 people were captured. However, there were other witness statements that there were 916 people in the main hall of the theater. The group held hostage not only Russian citizens, but also other states.
Movsar Barayev and his people planted bombs around the hall. On the balcony, they installed a cylinder, where there was a high-explosive fragmentation shell. And between the cylinder and the explosive, the terrorists placed striking parts. The women in the group got into a chess position. Gang members fixed bombs on them with a special belt. If they brought this part of the plan into effect, then there would not be a single whole site nearby.
After that, the bandits allowed the hostages to call their relatives and friends. They also said that they should inform the authorities that for one killed member of the gang, they will take the lives of ten civilians. The Russian authorities gathered their military forces within one hour. Armored vehicles, a police outfit and a special forces detachment were brought to the theater on Dubrovka. However, it was too early to start hostilities.
Many people were able to avoid a tragic fate: the actors who were behind the curtains and theater workers ran away from the building as soon as they realized that it was a terrorist attack. The rest, about seventeen people, the gang released, without any negotiations.
Conversation
October 24, 2002 two people managed to get into the concert hall of the theater. Later it turns out that they were killed by Chechen fighters. One of them was the military Vasiliev. After that, the Russian services again attempted to establish contact with the terrorists. The next member of the State Duma Aslakhanov entered the building of the house of culture. This is exactly what Movsar Barayev planned: to talk with someone from the authorities.
In addition to the above-mentioned negotiators, such famous pop singers as Alla Pugacheva and Joseph Kobzon, as well as journalists, doctors and the former president of Ingushetia, went to the building. Negotiations continued until the morning of October 26. People who entered the building helped free more than 20 hostages.
After Movsar Barayev and his group put forward their demands, the Russian authorities could not agree to the assault. President Vladimir Putin decided to talk with the head of the FSB, where they agreed that the terrorists would be saved if they kept all civilians alive. Chechen bandits did not accept the deal and began to threaten that on the morning of October 26 they would begin to kill people.
