Riyadus-Salikhin (Gardens of the Righteous) Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Chechen Martyrs

  • Leader - Shamil Basayev a.k.a Abu-Idris

Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Chechen Martyrs uses terrorism as part of an effort to secure an independent Muslim state in the North Caucasus. Basayev claimed the group was responsible for the Beslan school hostage crisis of September 1-3, 2004, which culminated in the deaths of about 330 people; simultaneous suicide bombings aboard two Russian civilian airliners in late August 2004; and a third suicide bombing outside a Moscow subway that same month. The RSRSBCM, whose name translates into English as "Requirements for Getting into Paradise," was not known to Western observers before October 2002, when it participated in the seizure of the Dubrovka Theater in Moscow. Designated under EO 13224 in February 2003.
