Assassination Attempt on Aslan Maskhadov
Chechen president escapes 10th attempt on his life

(WASHINGTON, DC - 01/17/00)  -  At 10:30 pm EST January 16, 2000, Mr.
Anzour Aslan Maskhadov, son of the President of Chechnya, was able
to contact ISCA offices via telephone from a secure location. He
informed ISCA Chairman, Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, that an
assassination attempt had been made on his father four days ago in the
mountains outside of Grozny. During the attempt, several people
were killed and many were wounded, but his father escaped without
harm. Mr. Anzour Aslan Maskhadov requested that the council
follow up on this matter with appropriate representatives of the
international community to investigate this assassination attempt
and determine who is responsible.

On behalf of his father, Mr. Maskhadov asked for all possible action
to prevent further bloodshed in Chechnya, particularly to stop the
devastation that affects civilians and is a travesty of human rights.
He also called for humanitarian aid in the form of shelter, food,
clothing and medicine. Mr. Anzour Aslan Maskhadov encourages the
Chechen Foreign Minister Ilyas Akhmadov, in his current visit to
Western countries, to continue to clarify the Chechen situation and
to explain how important its resolution is to the whole Caucasus
region. Mr. Anzour recalls for the public record that President Aslan
Maskhadov is the democratically elected leader of the Republic of
Chechnya, elected as a part of the peace agreement between the
leadership of Chechnya and President Yeltsin in 1996.  The OSCE observed a 
high turn out in these fair and open elections, and
recognized Maskhadov as the legitimate and democratic leader of the
republic.

ISCA calls upon all parties concerned to end the fighting in Chechnya
and to seek a diplomatic solution without delay. ISCA also calls upon
the US State Department and the international community to
immediately dispatch assistance to refugees of the war in Ingushetia
and other areas. ISCA reminds the public that there are over 250,000
refugees as a result of the current crisis. We call on the
International Red Cross/Red Crescent, international NGO's and
government bodies to do whatever is in their power to relieve the
suffering and difficulties of the refugees.
