With an unhinged Georgia, the Caspian region could become an area of highly centralized terrorist activity. Indeed, the Russian government has already connected political insurgents in Chechnya to terrorist organizations in the Middle East. The fear in some circles is that a crisis in the Caspian states would make Georgia and its neighbor Chechnya very attractive homes for terrorist organizations looking for limited government interference, just as al Qaeda did with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
