Caucasus peoples reject Wahhabism - Investigative Committee

Moscow, August 26, 2010 - Interfax

Wahhabism is losing support in the North Caucasus, head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office Alexander Bastrykin said.

"I have the impression that Wahhabism is passing. In my opinion, the people of the Caucasus have not accepted this radical and extremist ideology after all," Bastrykin said in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta published on Thursday.

"Bombings carried out under the terrorists' hallmark look more like economic brigandage," he said.

"This is clear from a series of crimes investigated in Dagestan," Bastrykin said.
