Chechens fighting alongside Iraqi troops in opening days of OIF

Thomas Joscelyn has pointed out another example of collusion between Saddam Hussein regime and al Qaeda linked fighters. This cooperation took place in the opening days of Operation Iraqi Freedom and numerous Chechens have been picked up on the battlefield over the past three years.

Joscelyn cites a FrontPage article which notes that among the recovered bodies of the fanatics fighting alongside Saddam Hussein's forces were numerous Chechens.

This is what I have been telling people, most of the jihadist videos I examined were chechnyan. They were the professional jihadists who went in first and hard, thank God many of them are dead now because they would have come for us eventually, and they don't play.
