Ethnic fighting has been happening in that part of the world for hundreds of years, I have no doubt that Chechen Jihadists would much rather kill a Russian first before anyone else.
However, Chechen Jihadi fighters have been caught/killed in just about every conflict done in the name of Islam such as Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria Yemen and Libya.
The Chechen resistance used to be commonly referred to as the Chechen separatists. Are these Chechen Jihadist different from the Chechen separatists?
it's just another 'group' being singled out to make the story more believable. Another group to justify america's KILLING.
the american folks are tired and less interested in hearing about the 'middle east' AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!
so they just changed locations!! but many american folks ain't buyin' that anymore either!!
ya just can't make this crap up!

No, they are in fact one in the same.

Ok, so now the Chechen separatist are now waging a holy war against the American population? To what ends? Why would they suddenly refocus their efforts toward the American people? I don't see how it furthers what has been their historical cause.
Report: More than 200 dead after troops storm school Three hostage-takers reportedly being interrogated; 27 killed

BESLAN, Russia (CNN) -- The operation to end the school hostage crisis in Russia is over, an emergency official said late Friday, but more than 200 people have died.
The Interfax news agency, quoting Russian health officials, reported the death toll.
Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived early Saturday in an unexpected visit to the siege town.
"Nobody wanted to use force, and Russia is grieving with the people of North Ossetia," he said, referring to the people in the province where the attack happened.
Russian security officials said Putin visited wounded in the hospital and has been meeting with local officials.
Officials from the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said that 704 people, including 259 children, were freed Friday after police and soldiers stormed the school.
It was not immediately clear how many of those who survived were wounded, but officials have said hundreds were injured.
The Emergency Situations Ministry said 79 bodies have been identified.
Interfax news agency has said more than 200 were killed and the death toll is expected to rise. Interfax also said 27 hostage-takers were killed and three were captured alive.
As rain fell in Beslan, soldiers began deactivating explosives that had been placed in the school. No gunfire was heard, but there were large explosions in the evening that appeared to be part of the de-mining operation.
Reports said as many as 1,200 hostages might have been inside the school and that 70 percent of them were children. Earlier reports had placed the number of hostages at a few hundred. (Map of school)
Valery Andreyev, head of the local branch of the FSB intelligence service, said 400 people had been freed as commandos stormed the school in an unplanned attack.
Andreyev said 10 of the dead hostage-takers were from Arab countries.
It was thought that the rebels were all residents of the restive Republic of Chechnya or other parts of the Russian Caucasus.
