The Supreme Court of Russia has outlawed the international organization “Imarat Kavkaz”, or the Caucasus Emirate, on finding it to be terrorist in character. “Imarat Kavkaz” was set up by a Chechen militant chief Doku Umarov in October 2007 to create a Sharia law-governed state in the North Caucasus. But the organization actually amounts to a separatist Islamic underground movement, covering the Russian republics of Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachayevo-Cherkessia. The “Imarat Kavkaz” militants claimed responsibility for a number of much-publicized crimes, including last summer’s attempt on the life of Ingush President Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, the blowing up of the Neva Express train in November and the murder of an Orthodox priest Daniil Sysoyev in Moscow also in November last year.
