But I think there is a link between [al-Zarqawi] and the continued occupation of Iraq. [Terrorist violence] is perhaps the best excuse to continue the occupation.

That assertion is supported by a former Russian official who was also in the Beslan command center: "Someone higher up decided: 'Why make Maskhadov a hero?'" Russian officials reject the assertion, voicing doubts that Maskhadov's offer was genuine and claiming that fighting broke out anyway before they could...
