Chechen leader Kadyrov: Statements on Islamic State’s underground in North Caucasus are nothing but bluffing

Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov calls bluffing announcements claiming that the rest of the militant forces in North Caucasus swore allegiance to the Islamic State terror group.

“This statement is nothing but bluffing. I do not think that some single gunmen who were not killed and are hiding in the woods can render any serious assistance to radicals from the so-called ‘Iblis State’,” Kadyrov said according to his press office.

According to the head of Chechnya, the situation is fully controlled by security services, while 99,9% of the people support peace life policy. “Nevertheless, we do not ignore the threat the ‘Iblis State’ can pose, so we shall continue our activity aimed at preventing from this plague spreading in Chechnya. We will annihilate shaitans and bandits without sorrow,” Kadyrov stressed.

As EADaily reported earlier, the Islamic State leadership announced that a province called Caucasus Vilayet was established in North Caucasus.
