Iran Training Chechen Rebels
Iran is secretly training Chechen rebels to enable them to carry out more effective attacks against Russian forces.
Teams of Chechen fighters are being trained at the Revolutionary Guardsâ?? Imam Ali training camp, located close to Tajrish Square in Tehran, the Sunday Telegraph cited Western intelligence reports.
In addition to receiving training in the latest terror techniques, the Chechen volunteers undergo ideological and political instruction by hardline Iranian mullahs at Qom.
The paper noted that this information would not â??go down well in Moscow, which regards itself as a close ally of the Iranian regime.â?
The paper pointed out that Russia had sided with Iran in the diplomatic stand-off over Tehranâ??s controversial nuclear program. While the British and American governments have accused Iran of having a clandestine nuclear weapons program, the Russians, who are building Iranâ??s Bushehr nuclear power plant, back Tehranâ??s claim that their nuclear intentions are solely peaceful.

And Russia still supports this government?:confused:
Iran Training Chechen Rebels
Have to admit, it makes no sense... unless they're already aware and are working with Tehran on a deal to turn over names and locations of the rebels. That would be cool... :thumbsup:
