On the photo: Dzhokhar Dudayev spoke on a satellite phone. He heard
the sound of rockets, a professional pilot and a military man, Dzhokhar
raised his head and accessed the situation, he did not change his pose,
and he was prepared to accept death. (The photo was taken from an
American magazine affiliated with the NSA of the United States. The US
NSA received a real-time video of the rocket strike.)Late in the evening of 21 April 1996, the first President of the Chechen
Republic of Ichkeria Gen. Dzhokhar Dudayev was martyred (Insha'Allah)
as a result of a terrorist attack.
The rocket strike on Dudayev occurred while he was speaking on a
satellite phone in a deserted locale near the village of Gekhi-Chu in
western Chechnya.The Russian leadership hoped that by killing Dudayev, Chechen resistance
will be broken and the war would be quickly wrapped up in favor of the
occupational army.
