Thanks for the link, but these points you highlighted set off a lot of bogosity alarms. To wit:
>allegations of Chechen links with Al Qaeda
Well, since Al Qaeda is a made up name what do they mean with this? Are they calling any Islamic group that provides financial aid to groups that are implicated in terrorist activities "Al Qaeda"?
>is influenced by the fact that no Chechens were captured by the US forces in Afghanistan
"Terrorists" captured in the first probes into Afghanistan were, in all likelihood, not terrorists at all. Locals were paid to brings some terrorists so they brought some people and said they were terrorists.
The biggest "evidence" this site seems to have is that some Islamic charity groups gave money to the Chechen rebels. Isn't it just as likely that an Islamic group would give money to help out another Islamic group they see as being oppressed? Assuming that their only possible intention could be to finance terrorism is quite a leap.
